Nurse Sherry, even though you have answered heaven's roll call, your presence still lives on here on earth. Your inspiration to me as one of your nursing students will never be forgotten. The hours you gave to me beyond the classroom and hospital clinical rotation enabled me to excel to the level of making "A" grades and as well as passing the Boards on the first try. Thank you so much for giving of your precious time, knowledge and care. Heaven has an Angel who left a legacy of nurses carrying out one of the most compassionate service to humankind . . . . . Nursing. Thank you. Lynda H.

Sherry (Nance) was one of the first nurses I hired for a program called "Outreach". We provided 24/7 care in the community to people who had mental illness. Our program was studied by the National Institute of Medicine for cost effectiveness and reduction of hospitalizations. Sherry was loved by our patients and was a team player. She always had a smile on her face and frequently talked about things going on with her daughter Kyra who she adored. Im so very sorry for your loss. We loved her and my thoughts will be with you.

Us run uhh they will have to call someone to take care of us too" As we went outside to help someone hurt. Love and will miss you.
