My deepest sympathy regarding your loss of Sherry. I had the pleasure of knowing Sherry at the dental office where I was employed as a dental hygienist. She was always very kind and seemed to always be a very happy person with a great smile. It was a pleasure for me to provide some of her health care over many years. She will be missed.

Byron and Family,
Thoughts and prayers going to you all from our family. Sadly, I am not able to make the funeral, but know that we will be thinking of you on Tuesday and every day.
I hope that you can take comfort knowing that she is at peace now. Sherrie was an awesome woman and I am so blessed to call her my cousin. She will be missed by all.
Cousin Lisa and Family
I worked with Sherry as a teller in La Crescent for Altra. She was very popular and always had a smile for everyone who came in. Her personality leant for funny times while at work. Sherry will be missed greatly. She was a wonderful person.
Byron, Scott, Owen and families—-
Mom just found out this morning that Sherry had passed. We feel terrible that we were not aware before her funeral.
We have so many fond memories of back deck — let’s call them “gatherings” — and Mike and Lisa’s wedding in Niles, and Fireman dances, and my car starting on fire in front of your house while I was picking up (toddler) Brianna (well that was not really a fond memory but it was a crazy memory nonetheless!). Byron, you and Sherry were such wonderful neighbors. I can still see Sherry sitting on our deck and giggling over something you or Dad either said or did. Frankly, Mom still misses you. We are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Byron, when you are up to it, please call Mom at Eagle Crest South (in La Crosse).
Love and hugs to all, Joyce and Jayne & Dave
