| Sherry took her final breath yesterday. Professionally, Sherry had been a hotshot trainer for schools — running seminars all over the country. Personally, she loved being the wife of a Marine. Somehow she ended up finding Rantburg, and then, like everything else she touched, Sherry left Rantburg more efficient and more comfortable than she found us. And, as badanov points out, more solvent. I followed her subsequent adventures, including her return to Bauxite, with interest, enjoying her enjoyment as well as her ever-evocative turns of phrase, which added a depth of appreciation to even the most apparently mundane activities. Sherry had a gift for love and happiness. Even though we never met in person, her death leaves a hole in my world. |
