AHHH, a serious one....

A TRIBUTE: It's been a year

Sherry Laub was born in Buffalo, New York on April 14, 1973 and passed away on November 25, 2006 at the age of 33. We will remember her forever. Sherry was a dynamic person who impacted a lot of lives in her short time here. She will be forever in our hearts and minds and just as she left footprints on this earth she left heartprints in all of us. Meeting her was the beginning of one of the best things to ever happen to me.

I can honestly say it is a rarity to have someone in this world that everyone liked. Sherry truly was one of those people. If you met her, you liked her instantly and if you spent any time with her, you loved her. I feel blessed and lucky to have had her love and support in our time together.

She was diagnosed 20 months ago with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a very curable form of cancer. This time however, this disease was extremely aggressive and she fought it bravely and without complaint until the end. Mr. Fudge Laub was of great comfort to her throughout and she often snuggled with him on the bottom landing of the staircase of our home. She talked to him about her hopes and fears and how much she loved and cared for him. He provided solace and a listening ear while licking her tears away and giving her many puppy kisses. Most people did not realize how sick she was and how much pain she was in, but her stubbornness that we all loved about her kept her going. She died at peace with family and friends around her and she will be greatly missed. I will miss the everyday things about her, seeing her smile, her laugh, her gentle little way. She was a constant strength, love, and support through a lot of difficult times for a lot of people. Her presence is all around and her little heartprints will stay with me forever. I love her very much.

Ask yourself this: If a person can have this effect, what can God do? Do you have heartprints from God in you?
