So sorry for your loss. Sherry was always friendly and an asset to the neighborhood.
Glad you had wonderful years together.
I first met Sherry when we were in junior high school at Keating. She was a good friend of my sister, Susan, at that time but throughout Sherry’s lifetime as well. She was sweet and kind, always smiling.

From everyone at Dr. Matt Philson’s office.
I will forever miss you Sherry. We had such fun together. You were as dear to me as any “sister” would be.
Rest in peace sweet friend.
Sweety, It’s been just a week since you left. Each day I love you more and pray for your soul. I’m also watching the eight am Mass. Love ❤️ forever. Love of my life. You, who saved my life. Jack
Pearle Sandstrom-Smith and Clif Smith will miss Sherry. The world will be a darker place without the light of Sherry. She was the definition of joy in the world. She will be missed by all who knew her. She is now out of pain and loss. She will light up the heavens ! She leaves a loving partner in her life in Jack who holds wonderful memories and eternal love for her.
