Sherry Martindale - A wife, a mother, a best friend.

Story

This journey started when my mom and dad met in highschool and they have been best friends ever since. They had two wildly different children, Ricky and Alexis. They have been married nearly 40 years with some crazy times in between. As some of you know, my mom, Sherry Martindale, was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in March of this year. This, of course, has been so difficult for my dad. He has been by her side throughout this process, 24/7. Spending nights on an air mattress sleeping right beside her in the hospital room as she tried to recover from all her set backs. Never wavering once. Staying strong and as positive as her. He felt he had to match her positivity to show how much he truly respected and cared for her. During this process I had a conversation with my dad and in passing he showed concern about costs pertaining to my mother's funeral and burial. This still is the last thing on his mind as of right now. It sucks that this is the reality of end of life care but if I could do anything to lessen the burden I will. He would never ask for the help himself, but I wanted to show him that it is okay to lean on people when you need help. I've been in the position of wanting to help but not able to donate funds. If that is the case even donating a single dollar really does make a difference. If you can't donate anything then you can share this post with as many people as possible. You can also contact me or my sister if you have any other services you would like to provide as well. Excuse the poor punctuation and grammar but I refuse to let AI write something as important as this is for me. I want my dad to focus on the grieving process and not have to worry about anything else. I love and appreciate every single one of you for your help. The Martindale family will be there when you need someone to lean on. With Love, The luckiest son ever.
