Comments Mr. Ballinger and family, I was saddened to hear of Sherry's passing. I was in Community Choir with Sherry " and she was so much fun and such an upbeat lady. It is comforting to know she is out of pain and with the Lord now, where she can be her happy, smiling self. We were all so lucky to have her touch our lives. May God be with you and bless you at this time. Sincerely, Ginny New
