Sherry will always be in my heart. She loved her family and loved to sing. I would see Sherry at karaoke and at band gigs with Richard. Gina would make Sherry sing bird dog for me as I would sing Oh Sherry for her. She will be missed but I know she is in a better place and one day we will meet again . R.I.P. Sherry. Love, Darryl

When I think about sweet Sherry I think of how she made me feel like part of the family from the first minute we met. Such a warm wonderful lady who lite up the room with love. I think of Sherry and her love for her family, friends, music and animals. Watching her support her daughter at all her gigs will always be a fond memory. You were so loved by many and the light you brought this world will shine in heaven now. Love you always. Charlotte

I have known Sherry for 22 years. I met her at Gina's karaoke shows. I loved her zest for life from the moment I met her. She was always happy and she had the most infectious laugh ever. She and her husband, Richard always loved and supported their daughter's band and karaoke shows. I am so honored to have been able to spend time with them at karaoke and I always considered them to be my second parents ... such a wonderful couple who loved each other so much. Sherry ... always loved and sadly missed by all ... I hope your singing to the choir in heaven now!💞💔💞

My mom Sherry Wallace passed today at the age of 76. She had Multiple sclerosis for many years and struggled with pain but didn't let it affect her zest for life. She had been diagnosed with cancer a few months ago and didn't want anyone to cry for her when she was gone. She asked we celebrate her life! She loved life and I know she would have liked to stay with us all longer but the cancer was just too destructive. She was my best friend and an amazing person. She loved everyone unconditionally, had a great sense of humor, loved to sing, loved dogs and loved spending time with her family and friends. Mom always had a smile on her face and loved to be surrounded by music and laughter. She also loved my dad Richard Wallace. He has been her rock for all these years. They had been together since she was 17. We will be having a celebration of life for family at my house this Thursday and then for friends on Friday. I ask you raise a margarita cheers to my mom, that's her favorite! She will be missed by all of us who love her so dearly.
