Prayers and thoughts are with the Bergeron Family. I always enjoyed my visits with Sherry when I would pick up ads for the UP Action News. We would always make each other laugh. We shared the love of dogs, and would share stories of each of our own. Sherry will be missed!

Mrs Bergeron you will be missed! Because Betsy was my best friend I spent many many days and nights over your house and you always made me feel welcome, you treated me like part of your family. I always enjoyed being around you because you made everything so much fun. Whether it was skiing, shopping, hanging around the house and talking and even smelting. You were as funny as you were pretty. May God bless you and your wonderful family that you leaving behind.
