I was blessed to call Sherry “My Best Friend”. It did not matter we lived 4 hours apart- it felt like we were right next door! And when we got to see each other, we laughed until our sides hurt! I will miss her everyday.
Thank you Rocky, for taking such good care of Sherry.
Prayers for you and Michael and your family.

My heart goes out to the family of Sherry and especially to my sweet and dear friend, Terry Collins, her sister. I know she will be missed by the entire family. She was a kind lady that I only knew through the internet but she was lovely. Rest in peace, sweet Sherry. You are safe in the arms of angels.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I have lots of wonderful memories of Sherry. She was a sweet girl in school, and always fun to hang out with no matter what we did. She was one of my sister Wanda’s best friends and therefore one of mine too. She will definitely be missed. Praying God’s grace and peace for all her family and friends as they go through this time of earthly sorrow.

There will always be a special place in my heart that belongs to Sherry. She was one of the nicest people I have ever known. I loved her smile and her laughter. We first became friends when we were in the second grade. I will cherish our friendship forever. Rest In Peace, sweet lady.
