I am sorry for your family's loss.  Sherry was such a kind woman.  May she rest in peace.

May your flowers always bloom and your curtains flutter softly, Sherry. I know you'll be watching over all of us so we don't lose our way.

Amy and Greg my sincere sympathy for you in the loss of your mom. God Bless you and your family during this difficult time.

I miss Sherry already....she really made everyone feel important and she is will be missed....so happy we re-connected after high school years....prayers for her loved ones left behind

So many happy fun memories from way back in the PartyLite days to crafting together in Siren. Her love of country music and her easy friendship will be missed. She is finally at peace.

We will always remember that smile. She will be missed.

I will miss your beautiful smile my friend. Thank you for the fun times at JC- together we had fun there. it was great re-connecting with you at Fairview. You have been so brave and strong through your battle, thank you for being a true example of love and faith in the Lord. Rest in Peace my dear, spread those wings you so greatly deserve.

We had some great times with Sherri when the boys were young. Our sympathy and prayers are with you all. May the memories you made help you get through this difficult time,.

Sherry not only fought the good fight for herself, she fought for others. She made a difference. Proud to have known her way back in our school days and reconnecting recently. She is now pain free and can rest in peace. Condolences to the family

She will be missed by all that knew her. Lucky to have known her in High School and glad I was able to reconnect and spend some time with her in the last few years. Sorry for your lose.

What a gem. Her laugh and smile were as contagious as her mothers. A lovely lady one I will miss.

Sorry I missed Sherry's celebration of life. Have been out of state. A loss of a friend!

Meeting you was a highlight.  Everytime you signed me in we had the best conversation and laugh.  I often spoke to Tom about you and how strong you were.  Everything that you went through and the respect and admiration that I had for you will be with me forever.

Mom, I miss you dearly everyday! You were and will be the biggest influence to me in everything I do every day. I love you so much! As Brianna says "Grandma is our Angel". Yes, that you are! Love you!

Sherry was so dear to me when I joined this family 15 years ago. There was no hesitation in her welcome to me. She and her entire family were warm and friendly right from the start. 
I also know she was a fantastic big sister to Russ, my husband. She gave him a handmade birthday card just a year or two ago where she cut out a Peanuts cartoon and pasted the words in balloons over childhood photographs of herself and Russ as children. Their dialog goes like this: 
Sherry: You're lucky.
Russ: Who me? Why am I lucky?
Sherry: Because you have a big sister! Having a big sister means you'll grow up with a more realistic view of yourself.
Russ: It does?
Sherry Absolutely! Without a big sister a person could go through his whole life without knowing he was a doofus~!
But the most telling thing about their relationship was a photo I saw at the visitation where Sherry is hugging Russ, and he has the sweetest dopiest smile on his face, totally enjoying her love and hug. That says it all.
Sherry- May the Blessings of God rest upon you, may God's peace abide with you. May God's presence illuminate you heart now and always.
Love,
Mary Bach (Russ Duehr)

I pray for Sherry's family today.  I wish each of you comfort and peace knowing she has no more pain.  I worked with Sherry at Land O' Lakes, Inc for a long time.  We didn't stay in touch but I always hoped she was enjoying life as much as possible.  My condolences to family and friends.
Sharon Roeschlein
