Sheryl is loved by many and will be greatly miss by all. I’m happy she was able to spend her last days at home surrounded by the children she loved. I last spoke with her a few weeks ago and I asked her how she was able to handle all the kids surrounding her. She smiled and said she wouldn’t have it any other way❤️
Oh grandma, I miss you so much already. I really do not know what I’m going to do without you. Ever since I can remember you’ve been my best friend. One of the first people I called when something bad happened or something good. I’m so blessed that I got to spend so many years with you, but I wish we had more. I wish you could have seen my girls grow up. But I know your in a better place, but it really is killing me that I can’t see you anymore. I will make you proud, and I will follow in your footsteps being caring and compassionate like you.
All my love goes out to you all. May her memories live in your hearts for eternity and bring you peace knowing she has never really left you. Sheryl and I have known each other since we were in jr high she always had a heart filled with kindness. My condolences go out to the whole family. Joy and Brian be strong she would want that .all my love
So sorry for the passing of Sheryl! Turns out, I went to school with her. She was a sweet and spunky gal back then and sounds as though she didn’t change. RIP dear Sheryl!
