Bill,
My hart goes out to and your family at this loss. I never meet Sherry but if she was with you for 37 years she must have been a wonderful person
All of our hearts are aching with the loss of you Sherry.
We spent almost 19 years together at Nordstrom and we probably shared more with each other than our own families.
With the loss of my 2 sisters in the last 3 years I want to express to you Sherry how thankful I am that you have been such a wonderful listener and what would I have done if your shoulder hadn’t been there to lean on. You have been like a sister to me and I thank you so much. Hardly bothering me with your problems ever.
I will miss you so much.
I will see you again someday to hug you again.
I love you Sherry.
Mahalo for your unselfish friendship.
Aloha my friend for now,
Love Debbie
Its hard to say goodbye to such a good friend, a second mom to me. She always welcomed me with open arms and a smile. I feel blessed and honored to have Sherry and her family be such a big part of my life. We had a lot of good times and I will cherrish those memories forever, Thank You.
Without words.
Love,
Bobby and Jeanie…
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of loss.
I worked with Sherry for 18 years at Nordstrom and I have lots of good memories of her.
God Bless you all!

Bill and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please know your friends are thinking of you.
Bill and family,the whole Sluyter family is so saddened to hear of Sherry’s passing.I only wish I had met Sherry so I could hug her and thank her for being such a wonderful person to my son.Jason said Sherry was like a 2nd mom to him and I am forever grateful for her kindness and compassion, her friendship and the special person she was to everyone who knew her. My heart goes out to all who she touched. God Bless
My heart is with you, Bill, Trisha, Bryon and Kids. I will always be greatful for the many times I have spent with your family. I truly felt as if I belonged all along. I went to Olympic with Bryon and we often had a brother, sister relationship, even then. I can never recall a time where I felt unwelcome or out of place and not part of the family. All though I strayed for a few years, being busy, I was welcomed with open arms. Sherry has this smile and sense of humor that draws you instantly. As a teenager I would call the Kline residence often as we are fairly close neighbors.and Bryon liked to talk on the phone more then any girl I have ever met. I would often hope Sherry would answer so I could talk to her. Although sometimes I didn’t like what she had to say. I always knew she would be straight with me. I never had to wonder what she thought or question if she still cared. I have laughed and cried with her. She was in every way a mother to me. I thank her for every conversation and every laugh, hug and smile. These things I will miss, and will never replace. I thank you Sherry for all the memories. I will think of you often, with a smile, my sadness is my selfishness,my happiness is because of you. Thank you for sharing your life with me, for the last 15 years, Mom.
We are so sorry for your loss of Sherry. We have so many great memories. She was a very special lady and we are proud to have been a part of her life.
Dear Bill & Family,
I know there are no words at this time that can express your loss. Sherry was a exceptional person and friend I’ll always remember from our days at Nordstrom’s. Her pain and suffering is over and she’s in God’s hands. Again my deepest sympathies for you and your family. God Bless
I worked with sherry at nordstroms for 15 years. We ate lunch together everyday and had our breaks together. Many times we went out after work to azteca or whereever and shared many stories.We had good times at the nordstrom reunions every time we had them.I will truly miss sherry we e-mailed jokes back and forth and she sent me pictures she took from her deck.I am sorry for the loss you all are feeling. I will try to make it on saturday Sherry’s Friend Joyce

I worked with Sherry for 19 years at DC99. She was a very special, fun, caring, and gererous friend.
Sherry and I have brother and sister Schnauzers. We also still have 15 & 12 year old Black and Decker they were kittens from Sherry or maybe Trisha’s cat. We have great memories of going to Bill and Sherry’s property in Winthrop. Usually around Blues Festival Time.
Bill, you have been a great husband to Sherry.
I will miss Sherry, but have many great memories!
Love Always,

To Bill and family,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all you during this time of mourning. Sherry was a dear sweet lady who brought a lot of joy into our world as we played and worked together over the years. She was such fun to be around and always had a place in her heart and her home for all us that she met. She will truly be missed.
Respectfully, Dennis, Maryanne, Jeff & Brian Stewart
I loved her. We shared almost every emotion, good and bad during these many years, We laughed, dined, drank, partied,sang,gambled, danced and cried together. I will miss her every day until I see her smiling face again.
Bill and family l want to send my condolences to you and your family.
Bill l don’t know if you remeber me but Russell and l were the ones that rented the little house behine Dewayne and Dorthey Ash’s house. we were friends with your dad and mom.
My prayers go out to you and your family.
I want to thank Sherry Kline for taking me into her life almost 20 years ago.
She made such an impact on me, taught me so much and helped make me the person I am today.
Whenever I have people for dinner or host a party I always strive to do as good as she didoften calling her for advice I will always remember when we would be @ some place and it would not be to her standards she would turn to me @ say “This would never happen @ your house I taught you way better than that” and I would laugh and smile.
She took me for my first beer in a barat age 19helped me move from my first appartment. I feel that all my “firsts” were w/ the Klines from 4-wheeling, snowmobiling, crazy camping trips and poker nights.
She may not have always been politically correct but always brutally honest.
If you had the privilage of being someone she loved you new it was a relationship that would last forever.
I will miss out marathon BGM games and sherry I promise to never throw a joker or let anyoneincluding bill!
I will always treasure all of our countless memories and as she taught me always treasure my friends.
Thank you to Bill and sherry for always including me and making me feel a part of the family. Thank you to Trisha and Bryon for your friendship and sharing you mom w/so many of us who love her dearly! I love you all.
I will miss her so much but always do my best to make her proud!
Love always Ann
