    Sherry was a wonderful woman. I spent many happy hours in the library and doing stats at the football and baseball games with her. Praying for you Davis family.

    We wish your family peace of mind and hope you know that our warmest thoughts go out to you in your time of loss. We know the spirit of Sherry will live forever in your memories and in your heart. In sympathy, Skip and Marsha Russell

  • I would like to send my thoughts and prayers to the Davis family. Sherry was a wonderful person and will be missed.

  • Prayers with Tom and the family.

  • I’m very sorry for your loss, and I wanted to offer you some comfort that I’ve found in the Bible. Isaiah 25:8 says “God will swallow up death forever” and he promises to comfort us, saying he “will wipe away the tears from all faces.” I hope this verse brings you some comfort in this hard time.
