So very sorry to hear of Sherry's passing. Worked with her in the 1990's at Wesley Willows and we adopted a little dog she had found and had "Grizzly" for many years. When in town from California we would stop at Vic & Jim's to say hi. May her family find comfort in her peace and keep her memory close in your hearts. I'll always remember her wonderful smile and her great sense of humor!
