Sherry passed away on January 2, 2014 from renal failure. She is survived by her husband, Dick Watkins, and sons Timothy and David, and 2 grandchildren.
Doug and I were so shocked and saddened to learn from Laurie of Sherry's passing. I'm sorry we didn't keep in touch better. Our prayers and condolences to you and your family and to Sherry's parents as well.
Hearing yours and Sherry's names takes me right back to Santa Rita and Egan days. I had some fun trips to Tahoe with Sherry and her dad, lots of adolescent fun and laughter. I hope that her cheerful nature continued throughout her life and brought you much joy.
Sherri had the greatest smile and the warmest inviting character ever - I will never forget her caring nature and fun loving personality. So very sorry to hear about your loss Dick, my deepest sympathy and condolences. Very sad news. Martin
So sorry for your loss. Sherry was always frinedly and kind to everyone. Imagine how proud she would be to know that your good memories would help to comfort you from now on.
I am so sorry to hear the sad news that you have lost your wife. I remember you and Sherry fondly from high school days. You were both friendly, warm, funny, and kind to everyone and I'm glad you ended up together. I hope you have beautiful, happy memories to cherish during this time of grief.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your wife Sherry. I'm sure you have movies, photos and lots of memories to keep her close to you for the rest of your life. I was never very close friends with Sherry, but I certainly have fond memories of our childhood friendship together (as far back as Santa Rita). My heart felt thoughts go out to you and your family in this time of change. Hard to imagine being in your situation and how hard it must be-can't say that "I know how you feel, and it will get better" because I have never had such a huge loss in my life! But keep in mind that there are many who wish you the best and send you our deepest sympathy.
So sorry to hear about Sherry's passing. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I lost my husband in 2012 and have come to appreciate everyday, loved ones and my ability to make a difference. May the memories, that you and Sherry made, be a comfort to you as you travel down life's path and know that time does heal.
Dick... I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. So amazing that you and Sherry in the same LAHS class and continuing your lives together and raising a family.
