It is hard to see those in our lives that we've known for years pass on to be with the Lord. Knowing that we will meet again in the great beyond as God promises gives us some comfort, but they are still greatly missed. Our condolences and prayers go out to the Stanton during this time of loss.

Sherry,
we will miss you so. You are/were such a large influence on so many of our Prayer Group, those you wrote to and all you associated with.
You blessed us with your calm manner, comforting words, and gentle actions.
Be at peace with our loving Savior.

Denny and family... Sherry was my first "friend" as often cousins are. The memories of playing at Grandpa Rasmussen's together will always be my favorites. Sherry will be forever missed by both friends and family who's lives she touched. Rest peacefully now dear cousin. Deb Woodcock
