Sherry was a long time friend, even tho we didn't see each a lot, she has meant a lot to me. I will miss her greatly. Thank you Sherry for your friendship.

There aren't many people who have the capacity for caring that Sherry had. She engaged life with an intensity that many never know. She fought for the underdog, had lofty ideals, and enjoyed life at many levels. To her many friends and family left behind, my condolences. Remember her smile.
