Sherry was my best friend. She would have done anything she could, at my time of need. She loved me just as I am. She was a gift from God. I miss her so much
and am very fortunate to have had
her in my life. Love, Tony

I was so sad to hear of Sherry's death. I worked with her at Miller for a number of years before I got hurt & couldn't return to my job. I occassionally saw Sherry in the skywalk & I thought of her often. I missed working with her. My thoughts & prayers are with you & the rest of her family. Kathy Adams

Tony,

I'm sorry to hear about the passing of Sherry. I worked with her for over 13 years at Miller Dwan Hospital. She always had a tender heart and treated the patients with much respect and compassion. She always spoke so highly of you and what you meant to her. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Tony:
My heart is crying for you. I'm stunned and saddened. Through it all, I know that Luke and Sherry are rejoicing in Heaven with our Lord. I also know the Lord has His arms around you--please, take comfort in that thought. Praying for you always; love, Marilyn
