Roger and I are so sorry to hear about Sherry's death. We of course know she's in a place with family and friends who have gone home before her but we hurt because we feel she's no longer in our lives. Sherry will always be in our lives because her memories will never fade and the people she has touched throughout her life will never forget. We both owned Candy Bouquets outlets and had spent a lot of time helping each other out in business and spent a few nights out touring the finer eating establishments in Kenosha. We will never forget her smile or laughter that touched us both. Again, we're sorry for your loss but happy that we were able to know Sherry even for the short amount of time that we had and our prayers are with Rich and her son's, daughters and grandchildren.
