Sherry Lee Davis (Elliott)
(1963 - 2009)

"Sherry,

I miss you and I hope you rest in peace. Thank you for all you did for hockey, the boys and especially for Jordan. "

"Sherry, you were a rockin' cool, stud of a mom!
Our team was so blessed to have you as you always were such a big, fun presense. With your larger than life personality and laugh, what a joy you were. We will all promise to love your boys and support Jim in keeping them safe and healthy. May God cradle you in His loving arms.
You will be greatly missed.....Leslie Miller"

"I am struggling for words yet so many thoughts come to mind. Sherry was our hockey rock! Without the effort, time and energy that she and Jim put in for us, we would not have made it through our first year. We will all be forever in your debt.

When Sherry wasn't "working", she was smiling and telling us what the boys were up to (both good and bad)!

My favorite story that comes to mind is during a hockey game at the Ice Den, Jim was keeping score and Chris and Sherry were running the penalty boxes. Mike had more than a few penalties and I saw Sherry taking pictures on her phone while Mike was in the box. I asked her after the game why she was taking pictures and she said, "It's the closest thing to a family picture that I can get! I just need to photoshop Matt in!"

We miss you terribly. I know you will be looking down on us and cheering us on during every game, as you always did.

The players will all have a special angel on their shoulders.

Rest peacfully -

Gregg, Susie, Cameron and Brady Morgan"

Sherry,

My daughter Terry really enjoyed cheering along with you at the high school Varsity hockey games. You always made her feel so welcome. Thanks for all you did for us...

Always a smile, instead of a frown,
Always a hand, when one is down,
Always true, thoughtful and kind,
Wonderful memories she left behind.

We'll miss you :( The Simpsons Natalie, Terry and Dennis

"Sherry, I don't have the words to express all that you have done for us and the hockey community and how much you will be missed. As you watch over your family, please know that they are well taken care of and forever loved. Katrina, Rusty, Kegan & Alex"

"Sherry, your laughter and voice echo in our thoughts of you. Mark and Matthew so very much enjoyed spending time with your family. They always returned from your home with stories to share about something funny you said or did. Out of the blue and in moments of total silence, all of a sudden one of them would laugh and start telling a "Sherry" story. You brought so much joy to so many lives, and you will be cherished in our hearts forever! The boys and I have so much love and room in our hearts to share with your family. I promise to be there for them!! Love, Terese, Mark & Matthew Heisig"

"Sherry,
You will be missed by SO many people. Everyone has wonderful memories that they will treasure forever! Thank you for all you have done for the Boulder Creek team.
The Glasers"

"Sherry, Sherry, SHERRY where do I start. You are my best friend and I miss you and will love you until the day I see you again.

You always took care of my family, as I promise I will to yours from this day forward.

You raised my babies as "nanny Sherry" you taught Addie how to say "momma" and how to walk. you were there for all the "first year milestones" in Addison's life and Roo's (as you so dearly named her)

I am SO Thankful that you got to see Addie a few weeks ago and I am forever grateful that I got to see you cry with joy when she ran straight to you and jumped in your arms to kiss and hug "Aunt Sherry". The love between you and my children can never and will never be replaced. I love you sister-wife (LOL) and I will hold you in my heart forever....Goodbye for now Best friend!! XOXO"

"Sherry,
You truly will be missed by so many. You were always smiling and always positive. You had a way of making everyone feel a part of the team. You always encouraged all the boys and kept us all organized. May we follow your example of being there for the kids and always being willing to help anyone in need. "

"mom im going to miss you so much its undescribable the things you did for me were unbeilevable and i have all good thoughts about you and im not going to forget youand those good times we had

R.I.P mommy loveyou forever and always "

"Dear Sherry, What a gift you were to know as a friend. You were a wonderful hockey Mom! You were also a great wife, Mother, friend, and daughter that will be so dearly missed. I will never forget your kindness to our family. You never forgot about Hunter and always cared about how he was doing and how we all were, anytime I saw you. You were a true blue person that was a straight shooter. You always lit up talking about your boys, you adored them! I will always remember how excited you were when we had our third boy, Hagan! I was now part of the "three boy club". I will never forget you my friend. Rest peacefully, Julie "

"Your time here on earth was short. But look at the many lives you touched. You will be missed by your family and friends. And by those you passed in day to day activity, you never knew their names, but they were touched by your big smile and laugh. Someone once asked me to describe you and the words that came to my mind where "Big Pesonality". You will be missed! With time our hearts will heal, however you'll never be forgotten. You are at peace and in that thought we find comfort. With all my love to your Family and Friends. Mary"

"We were so saddened to hear about Sherri's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Sherri was truely an amazing person who really loved to help others. Sherri was so friendly, she always had a smile to give. We will always remember Sherri's passion for hockey.. specially when she watched her boys play. She was so very proud of each of her boys. You will be truely missed by all!"

"Sherry,
The way you treated me when I was around you and the family made me feel like I was part of the family. You always kept me fed and treated me like I was another son to you. I thank you for all that you have done and I will miss you.
R.I.P Sherry Davis"

"Sherry,

You have touched the hearts and lives of so many, and it was always clear as to where your love, life and passion was focused - Jim, the boys, and thankfully - your extended family of friends all around the 'hockey community.'

You did so many kind and thoughtful things for Erik and our family - and never asked (or expected) anything in return. You gave us much ... and we'll always remember and be thankful for you generously sharing your time, kind words, insights, inspirations and most importantly - the true care and concern you had for others.

I remember a few months ago (before tryouts) mentioning to you that Erik was having some 'second thoughts' about hockey this next season. Your reply (with a distinct twinkle in your eye) was: "What? He needs to get his butt in gear. His Mom (Sue) is too nice. I've got three boys. Do you want me to straighten him out?!" Honest, straight forward, to the point. But it was said with the careful attention and thoughtful insights that only a Mom could have.

And thank you for the kind words and gestures you always seemed to find time for with Krista.

You will certainly be missed ... but I know you'll still be around - cheering the boys on and watching over us.

As has been promised to us all, it is comforting to know that God is now, and will always be, watching over and taking care of you.

Your friend,

Gordon "

"We had so much fun together with Sherry, and it was truly a pleasure to get to know her over the years. Sherry made our roller road trips a great time. And with Vosha we will always remember her standing behind the net ... cell phone in hand ... so she could get a good view of Matt. And always remember our discussions about how much the boys eat each week. Sherry will always be in our thoughts. Mitchell, Bonnie & Alan"

"So many memories. So many thoughts of you and Jim and those precious baby boys. We loved the time we shared with you and them and thank you for including us in your family. Peggy, Dick and family"

"Sherry
No one can manage a team like you did. I could not have possibly gotten through BCHS first year without you. You will be missed.
Ann, Ray, Zack and Katie."

"Sherry,
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how lucky I am to have met you and the guys. I will never be able to remember all the conversations we had, but I will always remember that we shared many laughs, usually at the expense of our sons.

Your friendship is something I will always treasure. The kindness you showed me, Eric and especially Jacob will keep you in our hearts until our time comes.

Know that for now, I choose not to mourn your passing, but celebrate your life and the impact you had on all of us who truly knew you. For now, I will just say so long, until we meet again.

Love Always,
Gilbert, Eric and Jacob Hernandez. "

"Sherry, In the past 14 years you touched my life in many ways. We always had great conversations, even though we didnt see eye to eye on things. You thought dogs were creatures that lived in the back yard, I thought dogs were part of the family that had to sleep in bed with us. I thought softball and baseball were fun sports, you thought hockey was the only "REAL' sport because it was fast moving. No matter what we discussed and how it ended, we were always laughing. Your talent in the mortgage industry will be missed, along with your great stories, and most of all your friendship. We will always have a special bonding because we were dealt a pair.
MOMS- Mothers of Multiples XXOOO"

"Thank you Lord for the time you allowed Sherry to be with us.
Greatful are our hearts that she was part of our lives, even though for such a brief time.
I trust in your promise my Lord, because your word says "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted". Matthew 5:4
The Garcias


"

"Sherry,
You always found a way to make me smile even on those very stressful days. The time that I got to know you was a true blessing. I will never forget you..."

"I was so sad when I heard about Sherry. Although my son has always played for a competing rink, I always looked forward to checking in to a tournament at the Ice Den where I got the chance to spend a few minutes catching up with Sherry. She was a bright light for hockey in Arizona and she will be missed.

Jim, please accept our prayers and blessings to you and the boys. "

"I only met you for about a month but it did not take long for me to realize you had a Big Heart. You made me laugh it was just nice being around you. I remember when I show you my son's graduation pictures you kept saying I want to have 3 graduations I have too.
You were always talking about your boys with so much pride you also wanted your grandkids to be able to play hockey. You just trusted me no questions asked we miss you."

"Sherry- I didn't know you very long. I didn't know you very well. What I do know is your committment to your family and Hockey friends is something I will always admire. The conversations we had where always enjoyable. You always managed to smile, even, if the conversation was in regards to something we didin't see eye to eye. I will always respect your dedication. As a "hockey" community we will always be there for your family as you were always there for ours.
Peace,
The Heaths"

"Jim,

We are so very sorry for the loss of your beloved wife, Sherry. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Regards, Barry, Marla, Mia, & Ava "

"Mom,
I love you so much and i will never forget you. I will miss the all the times you were there for me at hockey and all the times you helped me with school. You raised me, Mike and Chris with so much love and caring, and that will help us later on in life. You have made me into a better person and i will always love you. "

"I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I know how you feel though the pain must be harder for you that it was an actual parent, not a close family friend. Mrs. Davis is in heaven now. She is watching over you all and I'm sure she wants you to go on with your lives. Keep strong. Praying will make you feel better, lets you feel like your talking to her. I never meet her but I'm sure she was an amazing person. If your family needs anything at all...even just some escape time just let me know. I'm here for you guys. she is with you forever!!!
MorganDanielle"

"Jim, Matt, Mike & Chris,
We are so saddened by your loss. Sherry was such a wonderful person and will be missed by so many. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. She loved you all so much and I know you have many wonderful memories together. And Matt, Alex wants me to tell you to call him any time - he is always there for you! You are in our prayers...The Chamberlins"

"Matt, Mike, and Chris,
I am so sorry for what happened. I know her soul shall live in peace for the rest of eternity. I am here for you guys.
-Stephen "The Midget" Losinger"

"Sherry,
You will be missed more than you could ever know. Your smile, laugh and witt were contagious and something we grew to count on at every game and those intense tournements. You never forgot to ask me about the girls and their dance activities and when you could come see them dance. I loved hearing your stories of interactions with Dennis while planning and scheduling tournaments asking me "How do you DEAL with him he is SO particular and PICKY!" You made me laugh. Your an amazing lady, a dedicated and loving wife and mother and a beautiful human being we are blessed to have had in our lives. Thank you for all that you did and all that you were. I know God has you in his loving arms. "

"Sherry, you were an amazing woman! I always enjoyed seeing your family together at the rinks. We all could see how much you loved each other. You will always be loved. Take care Sherry."

"Jim, Matt, Mike, Chris: I just heard & I am so sad & sorry. We had lost touch, but quite often Sherry would be in my thoughts, remembering great times we had together. We last got together 9 years ago & flew in a 4 seater plane to Laughlin, had a blast. Love ya girlfriend, will meet again with you someday."

"Sherry-We are going to miss seeing you at the hockey rink. You did such a great job with the BCHS hockey team. I'll miss your friendship most of all. Rest in peace my friend and know that we will always be here for Jim, Matt, Mike and Chris."

"What a beautiful service you had for Sherry. Standing room only is a testament to how well liked the Davis family is! We will continue to pray for strength for all of you in the days ahead. "

" Letter to Sherry

Knowing you are safe and knowing you are at peace, rests on our heart.
You meant so much to us, it’s hard to know we’ll be apart.

We‘ll remember your strengths, your laugh.. and the way you protected your boys.
Your passion, your inner fire, and some of your simple joys.

You always gave the best of you, always being there for others too.
With always your strong opinion to say, don’t worry because it was okay..

I will always laugh when I think of the things we did together..
the late night girl chats, ‘Sex in the City’ marathons, many cocktails and snacks.

You were a blessing for the short time with us, and the friendship we will all hold so close and dear . How can we move on, for this we fear.

You were the rock Sherry, the strong one, the counselor, the one we turned to in times of need. Now who will step up to lead.

Not only were you a wife, mother and friend, but you were an amazing spirit and the one person who would always lend a hand.

You showered my daughter with love and took her in and added to your noise.
She became apart of your family, and a sister to your boys..

In a time where we needed you, you were always there for us. And my daughter opened up and began to trust.

For in her life of hurts, and bruised soul, the love from your family began to make her feel whole.

Just know that we will be there for the boys. We will watch then grow into amazing men.
We will love them, laugh with them and tease them now and again.

We will be there as they walk down the isle each of their special lives and watch them be great husbands, and marry great wives..

We know your boys will keep their memories of you close as each day they look up into the sky, and remember having to say goodbye.

So we say good bye to you, and cherish all the time we had, as we look at all pictures of the fun times that made you so glad.

Later we will share the happy moments and funny stories of things you did.
We’ll laugh and cry at the crazy times you acted like a kid.

We’ll take on the role of guides to your children, and be a friend to Jim as he needs this. For your heart and spirit he will miss.

And know that your spirit, hope and dreams we will carry, while we sit here and cry
as I read this letter to Sherry.


Jamie Kraintz-June 2009"
