Pointyhead Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks! The ladies of the Class of 74 are having a brunch at the Ragsdale Inn Nov. 4th to celebrate our 50th birthday. I'll be sure to tell everyone! Tell all the ladies from my class I said "Hey" And Cherry was a great lady. The last time I talked to her she reminded me of a song that we collaborated on in High School. I wrote the words and she put it to music. She said she still had the original put away. She will be sorely missed by a great many. But, I plan to see her again on the other side! Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, she was. But she was always that way from the time I knew her. Never slowed her down any. I remember in high school she was just one of those people that it felt good to be around.
