Sherry, what wonderful childhood memories I have of times spent together out on old Hwy 8. I always thought your mom was so pretty and just as sweet. It blesses my heart that she has been reunited with John D. Prayers for peace and comfort during this time of grief. Much love....Reba Davis Smith

Dear Sherry, I remember your sweet mother. Many wonderful memories in your home. You and her taught me to ride and that was a dream come true that I was able to pass on to my children. One special memory was at your house rolling each other down the big hill by your drive in a 55 gallon drum. (Into the Highway). We got in trouble for that one. My love and prayers are with you dear friend. Pam Bridges Hardy
