Shelia, your talks with mom meant the world to her. She mentioned frequently that you were probably the only person she could be herself with, and able to talk about cancer candidly. She appreciated your comfort and support and loved you so much. Tell Shana I love her, and that if and when you or she needs me, I’m a good servant. I can work and do and support without getting under foot. She may need me. She may need muscle. She may just need a shoulder. I can be any of those things.

I do hope you can make it, but if you can’t please know how much you are loved by us all. I plan to come out to see you when this ‘publicness’ is over.

Shelly, you have truly honored your Mom. Thank you. I am thankful for many things, but I am most thankful for my family, and am so happy to have a loving cousin who loved me so much for all of my 57 years. Over the past year Sherry and I have stayed close through calls and e-mails. She kept telling me I was her inspiration in getting through this ordeal. She truly was mine as well. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 4 years ago, and have been going through treatment for 4 years. When Sherry was diagnosed she immediately contacted me. I hope our talks gave her as much comfort as they did me. Bill, I am so glad you came into our family and loved Sherry, and led her to one of the hobbies and work, she so enjoyed — fishing. Jesus carries her in his arms now. She is so lucky to be with my Mom, Grandmother, her Mom (my Aunt Ruth, Daddy’s sister) and her Daddy and all of the rest of her extended family. The cancer did not win, she is comforting us at this very moment. I love you all, and you remain in my prayers. Thank you Shelly, for being here for Shana.

Shelly - I’ve gotten to know you and your Mom through this loving website. Thank you for doing this for those of us who are far away but close in spirit. I pray my daughter would give me such a loving tribute. I wish I could have gotten to know my brother’s wife over the years but I was so happy for the love they had and their relationship with each other and the Lord was the most important. I’m thankful that we will have eternity together. I look forward to meeting you at your Mom’s Memorial Service on Sunday. So many comforting scripures have jumped off the Bible’s pages this week - “I will comfort those who mourn bringing words of praise to their lips. May they have abundant peace says the Lord.” God Bless you and your siblings. and my dear brother. Sincerely, Caorl Ruslink Glasier

Shelly, give your mom a hug from Utah!

She is one hella nice gal.

Denn and I offer our condolences to both you and Bill. Such is not something easy to deal with.

I glad that I had the opportunity to share a bit of life with her, she has made my own better for it.

Celebrate her life, she has had a good one.

I love Sherry so much….she’s such a special person and so full of life. I lost my husband to lung cancer 10 years ago and I still miss him everyday….my prayers are that God will take Sherry as soon as possible…be brave, Shelly and Bill…..Karen Strickland
