Tributes
"This is Michael Wood, Donna Ulwelling\'s son, and nephew of Sherry\'s. My memory is of the last time I saw my Aunt Sherry. It was almost 2 years ago, when I came up for one of my older brother\'s weddings. I had visited with Aunt Sherry while I was up, and had gotten to spend some time with her. While I was with her, there was a few minutes before I was leaving, that I got to spend some one-on-one time with her. She told me that I was doing good, and then told me \"dont....go....back....\". And I knew she meant she didn\'t want me to go back to Indiana. Every time i saw her before this, she would always tell me that same thing, \"don\'t go back to Indiana. You need to be here with your mother. She loves you very much.\" I love you Aunt Sherry ?"
