Sherry´s passing makes me mad! Mad because I allowed decades to pass without making the effort to stay in touch. Sherry and Doug and my wife Jan and me were close friends way back when we all got married.

Then life happened. Then sometime about 2015 Sherry and Doug took the time to have a meal with us on one of their visits to Florida. It was a WONDERFUL reunion! We all vowed to stay in touch, but again life happened.

Sherry was a wonderful gal. Jan and I look forward to seeing her again in heaven.

There is a lesson here. Keep your friends close.

Loving fiends of both Sherry and Doug,

Michael and Jan Zoyes

Sherry taught me to quilt. I had several "quilt emergencies" and she would rescue me. Sherry and I taught in Fowlerville and she was lots of fun, especially on our quilt retreats. She was a gem! Sending lots of prayers.
