  25. Shelby, Ralph, Cooter…all of your family, I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Sherry’s passing. We became friends just a few years ago. I used to go help her paint just so I could spend time with her. Sherry’s wit and insight became great therapy for me during a tough stretch. My life is better for having known her. Her faith will always be an inspiration to me. You are all in my prayers.

  30. Sherry was one of the first people i met when i moved here a few years ago. I loved visiting her at The Pink House. Every time friends came to visit me, we’d stop by for a chat. Many times we’d pray right there in the shop. She was such an amazing witness and an overall strong woman. Thankful she’s no longer in pain, but she will sure be missed. To the family, I’m so sorry for your loss. And I’m so thankful for the time i got to know her…
