To Cindy, and Dr. and Mrs. Johnson,

I am so upset to hear about Sherry. It has been a long time since I've seen her, but when I still lived in Little Rock, I ran into her occasionally at the Faded Rose. We always enjoyed reminiscing on our teenage mall antics. For years, I bought all of my bathing suits at Pinky Punky because I knew Sherry would help me get the right suit. She was simply elegant and had excellent taste. I have very fond memories of spending time at your house. Dr. J taught me how to play poker in the third grade, and I'm still playing. I know this loss is tremendous. Please know that I have never forgotten the kindness of your family. I am thinking of all of you. Cindy, I still think about you every year on our birthday.
Kathy

My heart and my soul are extremely sad. Sherry and I became best friends the summer before we started 6th grade at St. Mary's. Oh, and then the memories began.42 years of friendship.There are so many memories that I will cherish always and forever. Love to Dr.Bob, Ruth, Cindy and Brooks.

Sherry and I were soul sisters, and unfortunately we lost contact. So very sad I am.

Dr. Johnson, Ruth, Cindy, Brooks, and Jim I am so sorry for your loss. Great times with Sherry and memories forever. Taking her to dinner at Allouettes. Dancing all night with Sherry wearing her Norma Kamali dresses. She would always want to drive us home in my jaguar xke and never failed to knock off a few acrylic nails on the dashboard trying to steer the car. Good times. I will miss you forever Sherry.

I am so sorry to hear of Sherry and my deepest condolences to her family.
I first met Sherry when I was 20 working at Pinky Punky - she came up the ramp in her Mount St. Mary's uniform shopping for a prom dress. Spent many fun times with her and Caroline and the other Pinky Punky 'girls'. Too soon.

Sherry will always be a Mount sister. We went to school together in jr high. She has always been stunningly beautiful and, yes, a ray of sunshine. I've run into her several times over the years and she always had something sweet and funny to say. My thoughts and prayers to her family. Praying for comfort and peace.

ive know Sherry since she came to Mount St. Mary's grade school in the early 70's. She was then and has always been a breath of fresh air. I was lucky to have bumped into her about 3 weeks ago and we had a lovely long visit. I will miss her cheerful spirit. Tony and I both send our love to you all.

I'm so sorry for your loss! I knew Sherry from Pinky Punky. Loved to shop there and Sherry always helped me stay in style. She was so great with fashion. I know she will be missed by many.

Sherry had such a beautiful soul. She was my sister in law for many years. My three boys loved going to "Uncle Shay and Aunt Jerry's" house. My very favorite picture of my baby (now 19) was taken at Jai and Sherry's house in Hillcrest in 1996. She was such a family oriented person, and I have missed that for years.
It makes my heart sad to know that she is gone from here, but she is in a better place! She's waiting, and we will see her again. So sorry for your loss, and will keep your family in my prayers.

There was not a day during my daughter-in-law's 17 year relationship to me, and then also to Bob, that she was not kind and loving to us. Sherry always remembered all birthdays, Mother's and Father's Days, anniversaries, and made of them special occasions with dinner parties or restaurant gatherings. I grieved when her marriage to my son ended, as I grieve now with her family and many, many friends. Good rest, sweet girl.

I have known Sherry for about 35 years. We first met when I was working at Greenhaws and she was at Pinky Punky in Breckenridge Village. A friendship grew from those early days. Riding around in my Monte Carlo with Leann, Leslie and Terry and the music turned up loud! Many good times at the Faded Rose and several other places over the years. In our later years, watching football on Sundays and cooking dinner at her home on Monroe. I will always remember the Christmas gatherings at her parents' home. Trips to the lake and fashion shows at night. You will be greatly missed by all. My heartfelt sympathies to Doc, Ruth, Cindy, Brooks and Jim as well as to all of those whose lives she touched.

My sincere condolences to the family. Sherry was a breath of fresh air every time I saw and spoke to her. She always made me laugh, and certainly had the gift of "gab." I first met her at a trunk show, and her infectious personality had me hooked forever. She had a big heart, and was so very kind. She will be sorely missed, but her memory will live forever! Rest in peace pretty lady!

Sherry was my beautiful, loving daughter-in-law for 15 years and I'll never forget her kindness to me. In the Lambert archives, her name is written, and in our hearts, there will always be a place for her.
Our loss is heaven's gain.

Remembering Sherry Louise... My friend CIndy Brooks's big sis who became my friend as well, High School Days, Summers at the Lake, the Beach Boys and the Rolling Stones, Trips to Dallas, Cruising in the gold Camaro, The Wagonneer and Ruth's Cadillac, Shopping sprees at Pinky Punky, Make-up Tips just to name a few! Sherry was a big part of my life, and I am sad that she is no longer with us, but her spirit lives on in the hearts and souls that knew and loved her. Memories of Sherry Louise will always make me smile. May her spirit live on in Eternal Peace and Beauty. Peace and Love to Dr Bob and Ruth and to CJ and Brooks.

We were communed together at 2nd Pres at 13, dated in high school, and married for more than 15 years. What can I say about you sweetheart that you don't already know. You were special, you always made people laugh, and you had a big heart and you were just gorgeous, inside and out. I am so sorry that you are gone. I pray for you and for Jim and your family and all your many many friends. Rest in peace Sherry. You will always have a special place in my heart and in the hearts of those who knew and loved you.
