Dear Family,
So sorry to learn of Sherry’s illness and passing. She was always so kind and cheeful to be around. She will be missed greatly by all of those at Henderson’s Meat Processing. We are praying that God would give you peace and contentment during this sad time.
I was shocked and saddened to learn of Sherry’s sudden illness and death. She worked with my son, Lyle Hendrix, in the deli at The Fresh Market. I would often times go in there and talk with her about my son, whom she claimed as a adopted son. She told me once “I am his deli mom”. He does not deal with death very well and I am worried how he will cope with her death. She meant alot to him and that means alot to me. Please know that she touched MANY lives and will be truly missed. Missed until the day we join her in heaven. To all her family, I will keep you in my prayers! Sherry was a beatuiful soul and I appreciated her. May the Lord bless and keep you all. Victoria Banks
