My deepest sympathy to all of you in the loss of Sherry. She was such a nice lady and I remember her fondly when I was in school years back. Please know that my family will be praying for you all during this time of loss. Romans 8:28

Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray for God to give you the strength you may need at this time and the peace of knowing she is not in pain. Mrs. Stone was truly one of the strongest women I knew and will be missed but never forgotten.

My grandfather, James Marion Adams, was Sherry’s uncle. Family meant everything to Granddaddy. I know that if they were alive he, Grandmother, my mother, and my Uncle Jimmy would have joined me in wishing Jimmy Stone and all of his and Sherry’s close-knit family love and comfort. I cherish thoughts of the visits we’ve had over the decades. Sherry, Nancy and Aunt Lucille’s tales taught me so much about the Adams/Estes family.
Hoyt Bunn, I enjoyed your memory. Sherry truly was a sweetheart.

In 1953-54 Jim Stone announced to his 6th grade class at Crossett that he was engaged to his sweetheart, Sherry Estes. He told us that even her name meant "sweetheart." I know she was aptly named. May Mr. stone and the family be comforted at this time of grief.
