Dear Steve, Ryan and Allyson,

I am thinking of you all tonight.

Lynn told me that the service was beautiful and I am happy for that becuase Sherry was a special person. She gave of herself freely to others and was always there to share a laugh. A great person, wonderful friend, endearing mother and devoted wife. The unsung hero who will be missed by all who knew her.

Peace and strength to you and yours to get through this difficult time. My thoughts are with you.

Love, Kim, David and Thomas Langford

Steve, Ryan and Allie.... I will miss your Mom so very much. Not only was she an incredible assistant to me, but in the past 8 years she had become a close friend of mine that will leave a huge hole in my heart. She was always thinking of others rather then herself. She was awesome! You all are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Cathy Wyner, Norwalk.

You were my confidant, my friend, my sister. You could read an expression without a word & battle me with the best of them. You have no idea how much I'll miss those 6 hour phone calls even though you lived around the corner. I can't imagine a day without you. I love you & can't understand right now why you were taken from us. I'll think of you every day & miss you every minute. Rest in peace my precious Sherry.
