When someone you love dies, you never quite get over it. You just slowly learn to go on without them. But always keeping them tucked safely in your heart. Love and friendship isn't about whom you known the longest. It's about who came and never left your side to the end... I miss you and always loved you in my heart.

The whole family misses you every single day.You would be so proud of Ashley, she is a great mom.We love you, Shelley, Lance Jr., Nicole and Shane.  Life will never be the same.

Well tomorrow is the day.... Where it's been a year since I've heard your voice, hugged, and kissed you good bye... It feels like its been five million years... I'm going to miss you being at the hospital to see your granddaughter born but I know you will be there in spirit. Her middle name is going to be lee-Ann to honor both of her grandmas.  I know you both are looking down on us and the babies. We wish you both were still here. I love you and I hope I can carry on everything you taught me by beig a good parent to my children just like you did with me. You will always be my mom, I love you xo xo ps tell Nannie "I love her more"

I can't believe it's almost been a year...I miss you everyday. The world was a much brighter place with you in it. Love you...

No words can convey the pain my heart feels; nothing will ever fill the void created by your death.  I will love and think of you always, unto my last breath.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die.

by poet Mary Frye

hello Mom! since i cant write you on facebook anymore i thought i would send some love here on your guest book. i wanted to let you know we all love and miss you. XO

Sherry, I haven't forgot you like the rest of the family. Getting thru the pain each day. It hard not having you here!!! We will meet again some day ....

How can a husband ever repay his wife for the gifts she brings,Her Love , Her time, her very self, most treasured of all things..I can.t imagine days without your smile I love so much, I can't imagine nigths without the comfort of your touch, Your Love and praise encourage all that's strong and good in me. You've made our life together the best that it could be, I can't begin to thank you for everything you do, except to say I know I'll spend a lifetime loving you in my heart!!! Miss you dearly...

In the death of a friend, we should consider that the fates through confidence have devolved on us the task of a double living, that we have henceforth to fulfill the promise of our friend's life also, in our own, to the world.” 

Henry David Thoreau

Unable are the loved to die.  For love is immortality.  
~Emily Dickinson

Happy Birthday Sherry! Today you would of turn 48 years old, You are still the love of my life. I missed you dearly.I'm trying to getthru the pain ...

Thinking of my friend on the aniversary of her birth. Love ya man!

The heart hath its own memory, like the mind. And in it are enshrined
the precious keepsakes, into which is wrought the giver's loving thought. ~ H.W. Longfellow

Photographs are precious memories . . . the visual evidence of place and time and relationships . . . ritual talismans for the treasure chest of the heart. ~ Robert Fulghum, in From Beginning to End

Sherry, Right now, when our loss is still so fresh, it has been difficult for me to imagine that the pain will ever go away. But in time, the blessing of God's unfailing grace will soften the hurt that I'm feeling, and bring my heart the peace, comfort, and hope that it needs to heal.Until then, please remember there's a circle of friends,and family members surrounding you who are embracing you and lifting you up in prayer.. Forever in my heart...

Sherry,Every moment we spend together creates a wonderful memory. I never knew that life could hold a happiness as true as the happiness I find, Sweetheart, In sharing life with you and so I chose this valentine as a way to let you know that this special love we share means everything to me.Missing you on this special day and forever in my heart. Happy Valentine Day Sherry Lee Heckle....

I knew Sherry back in the early 1980's; back in her rebellious years. I remember her as strong-willed and independent; but with a soft heart and a love for animals. Those were some difficult days when I knew her, but it's clear that she eventually found her way to happiness. It was quite shocking to find out of her passing even though I have not seen her in over 25 years.  To her daughter, husband, and the rest of her family, I am truly sorry for your loss.

Hi mom, I wish you could see your Facebook, there is soooo much love on there. Everyday I write you I wait for a response.. I wanna give you a big hug and tell you how much I love you. We've been through a lot together that a lot of people will ever know. Remember when I stayed at your house when I was pregnant and you let me wear your favorite pair of pajamas? You said don't wear them home because ill never get them back. Haha well I'm glad I never returned them back to you because when I miss you I wear them.. you always put your daughter first over everything and I will do that for my son.. I tell Ryder everyday, "your grandma loves you" I love you mom.. and I miss you xoxo

Sherry, I've loved you in the best ways I've known how,All I ever really needed was you, your love, your presence , to make my life complete. You've been a lighthouse to all of us- a point of guidance when we all feel lost. I have created a private memorial personalized keepsake display case and dome just like the one we carry you in. This is in honor and a tribute to you . It will be display in your favorite room with a 8"X 10" diamond etched photograph, etched on absolute black granite. All your favorite things will be around that. I will never forget you! I was there to the end and I'll still be there for you now... Love you alway.. Your loving husband..

Hi momma, I always write you on your facebook.. some how it seems harder to write you on here.. I miss you a lot... thankyou for leaving the pink paper clip outside of my bedroom door.. we only use silver here but you always usef the pibk ones! Thank-you for the sign saying your syill here with us. It's good to know you always talked about how proud you are of me! I love you soo much. I'm so thankful you got to see your grandson born. Xo

From the first day we met, your giving heart and ready smile have brought joy to my life. Your kindness and compassion have made our life together rich and full. I thank God daily for you and for the gift of our love. The longer we're together, the more I'm convinced that the best thing in my life is the love we shared.Thanks to your sense of humor, I have memories that make me smile as much now as the day we made them.Thanks to your encouragement and faith in me, I've met challenges that I couldn't have met alone. Because of your loyalty, I know that no matter what life may bring, you're on my side. Because of your touch, I always look forward to our quiet moments together, the longer we're together, the stronger our love is, And this seems like the perfect time to tell you that the sweetest thing in my life is the love we've created together, the love I could only know with you.. Wishing you a Merry Christmas on this sad day... With All My Love.. geo your loving husband...

Sherry we miss you.  Thank you for all of your help and your joyful smile.  Our hearts and prayers are with your family.  We look forward to when we can see you again...

Dear Ashley & Shelly and George - We just learned about Sherry's passing, and want to tell you how sad we were to hear about her death.  She was always such a happy cheerful person, and brought much cheer to our house.  Ashley, she always spoke about you and had such hopes and dreams for you as you were growing up... She loved all her pets, I remember when she had chickens, and of course all her cats!  Our dogs were always so happy to see her too.  we will miss her, and will keep all of you in our prayers.  Love, Pam and Paul Cope

Each morning when I awake , I know that you are gone,and no one knows the hearthache as I try to carry on.My heart still aches with sadness and many tears still flow what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill,in life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still.There will always be a heartache, and often a silent tear,But always a precious memory of the days when you were here. If tears could make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane, we'd walk the path to heaven, and bring you home again. I hold you close within my heart,and there you will remain, to walk with us throughout our lives . Until we meet again, Our family chain is broken now, and nothing will be the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.   Your Loving Husband Geo

Tomorow we will say good by to you. I don't know how I will get through the day. We were the typical sisters when we were younger but as we got older we grew closer. You helped me so much the last few years and I appreciated it. You and Geo let me be the third wheel when you guys went out and I always had a great time. I am going to miss talking to you so much. . The kids are going to miss there 'crazy' Aunt Sherry also, they really love you. I can't imagine my life without my sister and friend.  You have allot of good people on here saying great things about you, too bad your not here to hear them, you were taken away far too soon. Life isn't fair sometimes. I love you so much and will miss you like crazy. RIP my sweet happy sister.....

Even though I knew Sherry for a very short time she always had a great and long lasting smile, I will miss her.

I will miss my friend. Sherry, you were so important to me. I will never forget all the great times we had together. We experienced so much together, good and the bad, but both came out the other side better people and closer friends. You were beautiful and charming, funny and sweet. I will miss everything about you.

We are truly saddened by Sherry's death. Sherry was more than just a friend; she was an amazing person. She was always so kind and considerate to us that we always welcomed seeing her at every opportunity.
 
Her passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of everyone who knew her. Sherry's memory will always remain deep within our hearts.

I only knew Sherry thru her Uncle Larry....it is very rare that I see someone light up as Larry did every time he talked about his niece.  I know that she is a shining light that will be so very sorely missed.  My most heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of her family and friends..

Sherry will be missed by all who knew her, always smiling, spreading fun!!!!! My prayers go out to all her family and friends.

I'm happy to remember that Sherry made it to my birthday party this summer. It is a wonderful memory of having her there, along with Shelley. I'm so sorry for the loss her family must go through. She will truly be missed.

Sherry was a wonderful Mom to Ashley, I wish she had had time with her grandson. Sherry loved all creatures big and small. Her love of animals should show all of us how we should love each other. Sherry shined for many years as the best server in Edmonds at Goldies. All of Edmonds has lost a true Gem. Rest peasefully our friend, you will be so missed by so many.

You will be dearly missed. My condolences to all the family.......

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.  Surround yourself with memories and family. She is at peace.

Hi mom... I'm trying to find all the right words to say... and all I can say is I'm sooo sorry.. I'm soooo proud of you! When ypu found out you had cabcer you told the doctor I want to make it so I can see my grandson born... and that day you put aside your pain and sickness, and made it just in time to see the birth of Ryder. That was the best day of my life and I'm glad I got to share it with you. Christmas wil never be the same without you, but I know ylu will be there in spirit.. I want to hug you and tell you I love you.. that day at the hospital the nurse asked you what are you worried about?  And you looked at me.. it took me everything I had to say don't you worry about me, I will be ok.. I will always remember getting ready with you listening to rebas fancy song. I know you have no more pain and your with your loved ones. Please watch over us and help guide me through this. Always remember ryder loves you, I love you so much momma xo

I'll always remember Sherry as a sweet, sweet woman with such a big smile. She was always sassy and full of sunshine and alot of fun at our family get-togethers. We were both cat lovers and she usually had stories of her latest cat's hijinks to share. She raised a wonderful daughter and being with Ashley is like being with Sherry at the same time. I'm so glad Sherry was there for the birth of Ryder. I feel blessed for the times spent with her. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I never met Sherry but as a friend of her daughters, I've seen the legacy of a woman who was full of life and love. It is truly a tragedy to lose someone with so much positive influence. She raised an amazing daughter...

Sherry, your friendship, kindness, and sense of humor will be missed. A lovely soul that left her foot prints and pixie dust to each one that had the pleasure to know you even for a season. Our memories from elementary school will always remain in my heart. Ps. Thank you for sharing the only dolly with the dress with me on indoor recess...she was my favorite one too. Xoxox, Karolynn

 Sherry-Always saw your smiling face at Festivals.  Gonna miss that factor.  Shelley my biggest huggs and prayers go out to you and your family.  I know you will miss her deeply.oxoxoxox!

Sherry will truly be missed, we all saw you at our last get together in Edmonds and you looked great. I had no idea what you was going through, I wish I would have slowed down and sat with you for a little longer, you never know what someone is going through and that they may be taken at such a young age. My heart goes out to you and your family and thank you for being my friend R.I.P.

There are no words I know that can express how sorry I am for your loss. My heart goes out to her loved ones during this most difficult time. Hold on to your memories and feel blessed for all the wonderful times you got to share with her.
