My heart is sad to have lost another classmate. Sherry and I were in homeroom together and also in band. I remember the talent show when she played guitar and sang "Paper Roses" (I think that was the song) by Marie Osmond and she was wonderful. She was a very talented and caring person.Mary Beth Gailey (Spielberg) (1979)
I have great memories of hanging out with Sherry during our junior high years. We'd stay up late when I stayed overnight at her house, just talking and I'd listen to her play her guitar. She was a lot of fun and she liked getting crazy too. It's really sad to know that she is gone.
