Sherry and I were childhood friends. We lived on Somer Street. She was 2 years older and I followed her around like a little puppy. Whatever she did or got, I wanted to do or get too. She was the such a pretty girl and a sweet friend. I have lots of childhood memories of her and her family. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
Sherry and I were childhood friends on Somers St. I envied her so much. She was beautiful and just 2 years older than me. So I followed her around like a little puppy, trying to copy everything that she did. She was so sweet and kind to me. I loved going over to her house and help her and Dorthy to do housework. I have many memories of her family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sorry for the loss of your Mom. God bless.
Sherry was a valued classmate for several years at Hillsboro High School and a friend to many. I for one would have liked to have known her better. As family, friends, and classmates pass on only then do we fully appreciate them. 64 year is too short. Sherry will be missed. May she R.I.P.
Sherry was a valued friend and classmate to many of us at Hillsboro High School. Her 64 years were short but she made a difference. The class members of HHS 1963 express their deepest sympathy to Sherry's family. May she R.I.P. God Bless
I send my heartfelt sympathy to you. When I heard of Sherry's passing it just stunned me. We were very good friends as well as classmates at Hillsboro and then Greenfield. She was the prettiest girl in class(both schools) and such fun to be with. I have fond memories and I will remember her as the beautiful and happy girl she was in school. She was the best friend a girl could have and I am sure the best Mom ever. God Bless Sherry and God Bless her family.
Sherry was a sweet soul. I am so sorry for you loss.
