I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

God Bless Sherry! I had the sincere pleasure of becoming Sherry's friend while working at the same post office with her. She is home and at peace; a real strong person that would do anything for anyone, she is greatly missed. I wish I could be at the service, but I also lost my mother-in-law yesterday which will keep me from getting there. Please know that you and your family have been and still are in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Sherry at the USPS and was always inspired by her strength and determination. She was a wonderful person.

What a special person! I will always be inspired by her strength, will, and love for family. When I got to speak to Sherry at Mark's wedding last month I was so touched to see someone holding on so tight for family. I am sure she is in a great place, and this entire family knows the love she has for each of us. Though we will all miss her dearly, let us all remember that we will meet again in a much better place than earth. Unfortunately, being stuck here at college, I will not be able to attend the funeral so I want the whole family to know that my love and prayers are with them in this tough time. Love to all!

What a strong and loving person. I will never forget when we meet and the day Sherry fell in love with Tony. We had some great times growing up. We sure learned alot from the tough times but through it all I can say that I have never meet a woman with so much love and faith for God,her Husband, children and family. I know that she is now in a better place and you can be sure she is dancing. I am going to miss my friend and cuz !! Until we meet to dance again.

Love you forever girlfriend. Annette
