2008 Sherri's gone ... July 22nd

Our small tribe got one person smaller on this day. After breast cancer and a mastectomy and chemo-therapy, with little pause at all, bone cancer took over. Cancer took much of 2007 and nearly six months of 2008 to kill her.
Just where is our all merciful God? Busy I guess ...........................
Strange, the numerous titles we carry: Sherri was a mother, grandmother, aunt, daughter, wife, niece, cousin and friend.
She led a perhaps strange life - I'll try to tell it from my point of view sometime.
Now she's gone after a mere 46 years. I'm sad and a little embittered, "they" are supposed to outlive "us".
'Bye Sherri Vanya.

1960 Mitchell, count your arms, legs, blessings!

In the late 1960s and early '70s a new drug was on the market. Developed in Germany, it was called thalidomide. Prescibed by doctors to pregnant women to control morning sickness and loss of sleep.
Sadly, it was to cause horrific deformities in their children. Babies were born armless or legless, even both and worse.
Mitchell, you were concieved in August(?) of 1959 and born May 1960. 'Tis said your mother was offered thalidomide by her doctor, but she declined it.

Life really is a chancy business.
