R.I.H. Beautiful!! I Will always treasure our memories together Thankful i had the opportunity to know Sherry!!Prayers for the family..I know she loved you all so very much and will be watching over everyone of you!!
So sorry for your loss.
Condolences to Grandma Sherry’s family, who rightfully are very sad at her passing. She is one of the truly most loving people I have met and I will miss her greatly. She never did anything that didn’t include people, that didn’t create fond memories and she never left anyone out, all knew she loved them. She was and is, a bright light in a weary world, and my one regret is that I didn’t know her better.
May the family know, and angel was born that night, although, if we couldn’t see the wings, they really were already there, and know she is not gone, we just can’t see her yet. God Bless you all and keep you safe in his arms, and her own.
RIP Sherry, She was a great step-mom to my kids. She will be missed. Sorry I couldn’t be there for you all.
