Billy i”m so sorry for your lost.
Billy, I am so sorry to have heard of Sherrie’s passing. All of y’all have been in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if there is anything that I may do. Love, Cheryl
Billy & family: You are in my prayers. God knows best and Sherrie is resting in the arms of God. No more pain just happiness. Prayfully may you find comfort in your memories. Love you
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the family and friends. Sherrie will be missed by everyone she touched. We love you and will miss you
Sherrie,
We were a part of the greatest, closest-knit graduating class in the history of Asheville High School, the immortal Class of 1982, so when one passes on, we all lose a big part of our own selves. I wish I had been able to see you more over the years, but you sure were blessed in so many ways. Maybe the greatest blessing, though, is how greatly you will be missed by everyone whom you touched.
Peace Ü
Gary,
My heart goes out to you and your family in the loss of your wife. I am so very sorry and just wanted you to know that you have been in my prayers and thoughts since Jeff called me and told me. Please take care of yourself and keep in touch. I am here if you need an ear to bend. May God bless, comfort and strengthen you and your family in these days ahead.
