Any one who knows Charletta (Sherry) knows that she has been taking chemo treatment for a year now. She had just recieved blood at the hospital in Morehead, the hospital tried to get Sherry to stay the night, but she refused. Witnesses and her sister both saw Sherry slump at the wheel just before leaving the road. Sherry was a member of our church for over twenty years and until getting sick sang every Sunday. She will be missed, our lost will be Heaven's gain.
