Sherry was my first cousin and we were friends throughtout the years. We loved playing with dolls, paper dolls, bike riding, etC.
As we got older, we enjoy making greeting cards, crafting of all sorts and genelogy. We did this by explaining what we were doing by telephone and e mailling, as we never lived by one another as adults. She stayed close to our home town while I lived all over the USA.
I will miss Sherry and will pray for her and her family.
God Bless

Sherry and I were best friends in High School. I have many warm memories of staying overnight in their large country home. We visited, played games, dreamed and schemed together in high school. Her big Dad, Jules, and petite Mom, were always warm and welcoming.
As young adults we shared our triumphs and trials. We loved our kids, and we grew.
I moved away and over the years we stopped connecting. Where did those years go???
I feel such a loss to know she is gone ahead. Yet, I am certain she is engaging in this adventure whole heartedly, as she did with the rest of life. Beloved Sherry, we will meet again and share our hearts again! God richly bless you dear dear friend!
