I am remembering all of the fun times I had in knowing Sher as a member of the Lunch Bunch on Marco Island, Fl.May she rest in peace as she is safe in the arms of Jesus.

I send sympathy to the family of Sher.She was a wonderful friend to me on Marco Island where we enjoyed many wonderful times as a part of the Marco Island Lunch Bunch A poem for you: He does not lead us year by year, nor even day by day, but step by step our paths unfold, the Lord directs our way. Tomorrows plans we do not know, we only know this minute, but He will say this is the way, by faith now walk ye in it. And I am glad that it is so today is enought to bear
and when tomorrow's cares shall come, His grace shall far exceed that care. Why need to worry then or fret, the God who gave His son, Holds all our moments in His care and gives them one by one. Cindy Anderson

This is a very difficult time for Sherilyn's family. May you find comfort in the fond memories of her. Death was not God's original purpose for us and for that reason he has promised us life eternal through the death of his son, Jesus. John 3:16. God also gives us the hope of being reunited with our dear loved one with eternal life as our hope.
