“WE HAD A WONDERFUL MOTHER”
We had a wonderful mother,
One who never really grew old;
Her smile was made of sunshine,
And her heart was solid gold;
Her eyes were as bright as shining stars,
And in her cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful mother,
And that’s the way it will always be.
But take heed because
She’s still keeping an eye on all of us,
So let’s make sure
She will like what she sees.

In lieu of flowers, the family requested that donations in Sherry’s honor be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
