Sherry Gammons Funeral Expenses

Donation protected
We need your help to pay for  the final arrangements and expenses of Sherry Lynn Gammons, to give her the funeral she deserves after battling stage 4 bone cancer, and to pay the final bills uncovered by insurance.

Sherry is one of the most generous, kind hearted, and compasionate people. Sherry is a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She spent her entire life taking care of others, while always putting her own needs last. At a young age, Sherry helped raise both of her two younger sisters, Karen and Lori, while her mother worked. When she got married and had her own children, she always put them first, giving unconditional love to them throughout their lives. At many times throughout her life, she did without basic needs just to help friends and family who were suffering hard times. She sacrificed so those around her  could have gas, food, electricity, and other essential needs. 

Sherry was diagnosed with Stage 3 bone cancer in 2014. The prognosis was not good, but Sherry was determined to witness a major accomplishment with her daughter, and to spend more time with her grandchildren and family. In December of 2015, her daughter Krissy graduated from nursing school.  She spent the holidays with her family.  All this time she has been struggling with how to manage the pain. She underwent several months of chemo, yet the cancer progessed to stage 4, and the pain slowly increased. Sherry has recently decided to no longer take chemotherapy, and wants to live the remaining days of her life on her terms.

The doctors have now said it could happen very quickly. Sherry is in discussions with hospice and is at peace with her descision.  She is an amazing woman.
It seems trivial for us to be concerned with the upcoming financial burdens when she is so calm, but the pain of loss seems inevitable. Sherry has faced many difficult times in her life, but has also touched many people who remember her unconditional love. She will live on through those people as well as through us. She gave us the invaluable gift of being like her.This campaign is to honour our sister, mother, friend and to help us deal with the financial repercussions of what is happening. We appreciate any donation you can give, and we thank you.  

We need whatever we can get, so every dollar is a valued contribution no matter how much. If you have been touched by Sherry but don't have money, please share the campaign so maybe someone else who can will give a little financial support.
