The holidays were hard after papa died. To celebrate the 4 of us would go to paint and celebrate life. I will always cherish this time and the art we made. I will miss you always.

This is how I will forever remember Auntie Sherry, in THIS chair, talking to whatever kids were around. She loved signing and telling stories to little ones. She did it with my generation and then also our kids.

Aunt Sherry has always been one of my favorite aunts. I remember riding bikes with her when she was studying at UW. I always admired her for traveling all over the world, and speaking so many different languages. She really lived life to the fullest.

Being able to visit Sherry and Ilysa in TN a couple of years ago was such an important time for both of us. We caught up on life, grandchildren, and our deep love for each other. She had a hard time believing I had grandchildren!

Rest easy, Aunt Sherry. I would tell you to behave up there but I'm sure you and Wanda will have a good time. Miss you so and love you bunches.

This was the day Grammy moved in with us. She made us laugh.

Just a few highlights of our time together this past year.

Moving in with my family, teaching my kids how to crochet, in home spa days, a chest xray they did at the house, and of course henna tattoos which she did NOT love!
