Mrs. Sherry was a wonderful woman.. She was like a second mother to me, and was always there for me. She was a family woman and loved her children very much. She was never afraid to lend a hand to anyone and was a strong, Christian woman. I miss her dearly and still can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that she is gone. The Woodward family will forever be in my prayers.

Sherry was the best friend anyone could ever had! I have no doubt she was an amazing Mother and Wife! I treasure the time that I had with her growing up together! We used to play Treasure Hunt game using the scriptures in the bible to locate the clues needed to get the treasure! It was fun! Also, we used to lay out to get a tan which it didn't help us much and drank orange juice, while laying there! She was a great Christain Woman and Example; and, I will miss her until the Lord calls us home! To Kelley, James, Rachel, Michael, Lydia and Virginia: she loved you so very much & she was so proud of you all! You will always be in my prayers...so get used to it! Love you all!

It was at the circus in the old Kmart parking lot about 20 yrs ago. That night we met not only new friends but life long friends that seemed more like sister and brother than just friends. We have shared so much together through the years, both sad and happy. We will only remember the happy things like playing cards to the wee hours of the mornings, the new years family parties, the bringing of new life into the world and many more. We will always remember Sherry's smile, it was always present. We will see that smile again one day when we all get the heaven. We look forward to it.
