I went to work at the Wellington Walmart in 1989. Not sure when I met Sherry but she worked there also. I met Candy and Joe over the years I worked there. Sherry and I became friends. I was at Chris and Sherry’s wedding and remember when Dusty carried Candy down the aisle after the ceremony. Candy always had a smile on her face! Even when she was upset about something she always had a smile. I have all of you in my prayers and my thoughts. She is always going to be there inside. Love you all and know you were raised right with all her love.
