I talked to my sister Marilyn and she was sharing how beautiful the Memorial was for Sherry, her daughter. Arky was not able to go. He is recovering from bleeding ulcers but 15 of the immediate family was able to be there and there were over 60 in total.
What was evident, when those there shared remembrances about Sherry. is that she reached out to others. Over and over people said things like "Sherry was the first one to visit us when we moved in, she brought us a lemon pie or whatever. It seems she enjoyed sharing many different treats with her new friends. Wes, her husband, told about the first time he saw her and he thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world and was amazed when she seemed to like him, too. Sherry was evidently the instigator of the Book Club group and other groups over the years. She like people and reached out to everyone she met, it sounded like.
Marilyn had brought some lovely table cloths from her home ward and Debby had provided lots of food and then the former employee of Sherry (restaurant owner) brought her favorite Red Velvet Cake plus large trays of three other types food.
Everyone enjoyed reminiscing and conversing with old friends. Sherry was well remembered by family and friends. It was a lovely memorial and Marilyn was so happy she, Randy and Hope were able to be there along with all of Debbie's family and Sherry's immediate family and many friends.
