My condolences and prayers are with the family and friends of Sherry Armento. I know and so appreciate her daughter, Courtney -- I strongly suspect that Sherry was a powerful influence for Courtney's spirit of love, beauty, and justice. In ways like this, we keep Sherry's spirit alive although her body has passed. May Sherry rest in peace, in the arms of our loving, amazing God!

My dear friend Courtney,
I am deeply saddened by the transition of your mother. I've heard from you in various ways just how much she means to you. As you know, leaving this state of being is a new beginning for Ms Sherry.
As the days and weeks pass, life will be very different, yet one thing will remain forever; your mother's memories and the endless love you shared. May you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Bill an I are sending you an abundance of love, encouraging faith, and hope in the steadfast promises of God!
Love,

Dear Jim and Family
Jim, I was fortunate to have met Sherry many years ago through you and treasure all of the memories we shared. Like you, she was so much more than a friend. Her artistry was immeasurable and I still cherish the personalized cards and art that she made for me. God bless you for your devotion to her wellbeing and happiness. Don and I send our condolences to you, Kelly, and Courtney.

It Was A Pleasure To Care For Sherry And To Spend Time With Her Leading Up To Her Final Days. I Would Be Horribly Remissed If I Didn't Recognize Her Life Partner Mr. Hutchinson That Diligently Cared For Sherry 24/7 And Fought Tooth And Nail For Her.
I'm Thankful And Grateful For The Opportunity To Bare Witness To That Abundance Of Light,Love And Kindness.
Rest In Power Beloved ❤❤❤

Hi Jim:

Christine and I send our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I recalled when Sherry visited our home when you had your procedure done many years ago in Fort Lauderdale, FL. She was a special woman. As I discussed with you upon learning of her passing that the Bible says "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord".

May Sherry rest in power,

Dwight and Christine Reynolds

Sherry was one of the most happiest people I knew. Talented and very easy to be around, I was introduced to her when I met Courtney Armento in 1990. May the good lord bless your heart

Although our family did not know Mrs. Armento directly, we are blessed to have her daughter, Courtney, in our lives, and based on her beautiful presence, she lives into the knowledge of her mother’s legacy of love, beauty, and such an acceptance of others and their life’s journey! Our heart and prayers remain with Courtney, her grandchildren, her sister, and the entire community who will forever be blessed by Mrs. Sherry’s beautiful life! - The Dixon Family
