I met Sherry at Riverbend stuffing Easter eggs for the children and we immediately became friends. Bruce and I went to many dances with her and lots of cruises. 1 week in Ireland was such fun. Ten people in 2 vans in those bed and breakfasts with Sherry as our travel guide. We were out of town when she had her tragic accident. We miss her so much. She had so much to live for, Our Miss Glitz. Our deepest sympathy to her family and friends. Sincerely, Jane

Sherri was my great aunt, sister of my grandmother Beverly Engell. I remember her coming to visit my grandparents and being so beautiful. Tuesday was a very sad day! I give my condolences to her three remaining sisters and children. May you find peace knowing she is in a better place.

I will miss my beautiful "Aunt Gorgeous". I didn't even know that her name was Sherry until I was in high school because we just always called her Gorgeous. Her loving niece, Patricia
