IN LOVING MEMORY

In the twilight of our friendship
Beyond the shining day
The thoughts all crowd around me
Hoping for their say.

Thoughts of love and laughter
Of days I hold so dear
Brightened by your presence
Whether far or very near.

A beacon in the darkness
Hope amidst despair
Strength in the quietness
Love beyond compare.

Silliness and giggles
Seriousness and tears
You could always hear my soul
Throughout the many years.

The Lord has called you Home now
Your face no more I'll see
But I'll be forever grateful
That He shared you here with me.

Dear Sherry,

    You have been...

        my "roomie"
        my "best friend"
        my "sister"
        my partner in crime
        and my partner in kindness.

    We were...

        soulmates
        two halves of the same mind
        kindred spirits

26 years - such a short time
26 years of laughter and love and tears and sharing
Apart physically but never in spirit

You have been a model and an inspiration

    a delightful daughter
    a wonderful wife
    a loving mother
    a caring teacher
    an amazing friend!

    There was no better person in the world. God has called you Home now - your soul has sailed away. What a glorious welcome you must have received. <S> I know that you're in a much better place, and I'm so very glad you won't have to suffer or struggle anymore. But I'm also sad for those left behind because you have left an empty spot that can never be filled. You have touched so many people - left your footprints on so many hearts. So many lives have been blessed because of YOU!

    Oh how you'll be missed!!!!!!!!

But get the rocking chairs ready, and leave the light burning for me. I'll be Home before you know it!
I LOVE YOU!
