Sherry will always have a VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART! We became friends instantly more than 20 years ago, and remained connected throughout the years. Her spirit was so inviting, and that beautiful smile of hers warmed my heart and hearts of many who were fortunate enough to have her as a friend.

May God continue to shower the family with comfort as only He can.

To the Latimer and Terry Family,

I will never forget the time that I worked with Sherry while I was at Smithfield Convalescent Center. Sherry has such a genuine and sweet heart, she would do anything for anybody at the drop of a hat. I pray for peace and comfort for your family and I pray that you will continued to have the wonderful memories of Sherry. It was an honor to be able to know her.
May you rest in peace Sherry and I know that you are up in Heaven dancing and hugging your mother Myrtle.

Our deepest sympathy to you all in this time of such sad news. May God give you all peace and strength to get through the tough days ahead. Sherry had a story to tell with that smile on her face, as we all saw that beautiful smile when we talked to her. She is now another Angel in heaven to watch over each of you. Rest In Peace Sherry, with your Heavenly Father and Family by your side.

I first met Sherry when she moved to our neighborhood in James River Shores. When she introduced herself, my twin sister and I were in my driveway, and we burst out laughing. She looked puzzled until we introduced ourselves; my name is Sherry, and my twin sister's name is Terry (who happens to live next door to me). To further confuse our neighbors, her husband's first name is Bill, as is mine.
As I got to know her, I realized that her beauty was through and through. She endeared herself to me with her sweet nature; I never heard her say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss bumping into her around Carrollton. Her light will be missed by anyone who knew her. God bless her family; they are all in my prayers.
