We honored my baby sister today. Sherrill Ann was feisty, witty, funny, personable, and beautiful inside and out. As I talked with many of you, I came to realize that she’s had such an enormous impact on you all. Although we’re saddened by her passing, we can rejoice in knowing that we’ve all been touched in some special way just by knowing her. Even in her last days, she never lost her sense of humor and deep concern and love for others. Her strength and courage in these last few months both amazes and inspires me. God bless you little sister, your love has had a ripple effect. And isn’t that what life is all about anyway? You’ve taught us well. We’ll meet again. I love you!!!
Always and Forever

Sherrill will live in my heart forever. For 10 yrs. she was my special friend, an irreplaceable co-worker, and a constant source of laughter, warmth and support. In a wealth of memories of her generous spirit, her beautiful smile and her relentless humor... Sherrill's light will never dim.
My heart goes out to all who loved her.
