My deepest condolences to the entire family on your loss. I am so sad to hear about Sherry. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. She had a wonderful sense of humor and we enjoyed some very happy times together. She was one of my coaches during the birth of my son and was then known by him as Aunt Sherry. I will never forget our special memories together. I am so grateful to have had Sherry in my life. I loved her and will miss her.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sherry and I lived four houses down from each other when we were young and we went to school together but loss touch when we both moved away.
Our neighborhood was very special and my memories are a gift. In sincere Sympathy.

I wanted to offer my sincere condolences to the Bridges family. Although I have not seen her for many years, I have fond memories of being with her at church and school. She did have a great voice. I pray your memories of her will bring you much comfort.
