    I’ve known Sherry since I was a young child. She was so full of energy. a go getter, and always on the go. She was a kind soul. Growing up Bobby and my dad Mike ran around together. I’ve known this family for many years. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Tomica ❤

    I am deeply sorry about Sherie's passing. I lived in Indiana for years and she sold us several houses and was always so kind. I also knew her before she moved to Indiana and loved her then also. She will be missed.

    So sorry to hear of Cherie's passing. Thoughts and prayers to "Albe" (she fondly called you) and her son Robert. Cherie was full of life and great stories. I am sure that she will be terribly missed, but not forgotten.

    Every time I saw Cherie and talked with her, she had a kind word and contagious smile to share with me! Her sweet spirit makes me smile this very minute and will always be remembered! Bobby, as a friend back at Mitchell High School years ago - I’ve always remembered you too! And I’m thinking of you now as you go through these days of your Mom’s passing and funeral service.

    I’m so sorry to hear this news. Cherie was my first babysitter and neighbor when I was a kid on Frank Street in Mitchell. She was always so good to me. She used to tease me because I gave her a bracelet with my dad’s picture in it when I was little. My condolences to Cherie’s friends and family.
