Sherry you and I may not always seen eye to eye but I tried to be there for you when I could. I'm glad that the last time I seen you I hugged you and told you that I loved you. You left us way too soon we had more memories to make but you suffered too much on this earth to stay. You are in great company though with mom & dad. I miss you.

Paul said to depart and be with Christ was "better by far" than staying on earth (Philippians 1:23)
You'd keep me on the phone for hours talking but told mom it was me that talked your ear off. Just like a sister to blame the other. Now I wish I could hear your voice once more. I kept some of your letters and all of the beautiful cards you ever sent to me. I cried when I read the one you wrote; "So many times I've thanked God for the blessing of a sister like you. I think I hit the jackpot!" "Thank you so much for being there for me- over and over.You're more than a sister. You are my personal angel."
You over rated me Sherry... but that was the kind of heart you had, loving and so very giving even to those who you never met. Tenderhearted to hurt animals always wanting to rescue and save.
Your life on earth was far from being easy. You suffered great pain emotionally and physically. And I believe God felt you had enough and that is when He sent an angel to take you home. I know you wanted out of a broken painful body and to see mom and dad again. And now the only peace in the midst of my many tears and broken heart is knowing you have a perfect strong body. Now in the arms of Jesus in the warmth of His amazing love. You're where there is pure peace, joy, immense beauty and happiness ... where mom and dad are and now you are finally home.
I'll see you again soon and let you talk my ear off.
Until then, I'll miss you with all my heart and love you for eternity.
Debbie, your big sister (always!)
and Mark
Love, Aunt Alice
To my sweet Sherry, Love, Aunt Betty
