Sherry and I were very good friends since we met at Lowell School in 5th grade. We attended the BGSU Branch
teaching program together for 2 years.
We both became teachers.
Sincere condolences to her family.

Jim, my sympathy and prayers are with you and the family. I have fond memories of Sherry from the short time Howard pastored the Burgoon Church. She was a warm, caring lady who touched our lives. Donita Mayne
