Sherry and I go back to the 8th grade. She was the best friend to my first 'steady' Annette Sutton. I was pleased to see she had not changed from that spunky fun spirit over the years. Looking at her picture, it appears she really had changed that much in looks either. What a gal. I wished I had know we lived so close. I would of loved kidding around with her again. Her Mom and Dad were always good to me and Bud helped me (and Johnny Brooks) learn a little about car painting which I always appreciated. Gees, now I'll have to start bringing up old memories of some of the 'wild' things we did back then. Hee,hee.

Sis, your are always in my heart. My memories are of family and how we always came together for good times and bad times. Our family has always been the most important thing to me...my memories are from the parties, or just our gathering around and laughing together. You will be missed but not forgotten. We will continue to meet and laugh, and you will be with us. Love you,

I always liked Sherry's contagious laugh and her seemingly ever present smile. She was always a bundle of energy and back when I lived near her she was always ready to join in and help with a neighborhood party. You will be missed classy lady. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Sweet Grams! I miss your face more than I can say. I'm still picking up my phone to call you all throughout my day! You are so loved! I know you are in a better place and that brings me solace! You were the best grandma a girl could ever want!
