Post by Joel Hill »

It is with great sorrow in my heart that I tell everyone that my sweet wife Sherry lost her 3 and 1/2 year battle with cancer on Wednesday November 23rd. It is a heartbreak of intensity that I have never known and could have never imagined. We were married for 36 years and I cant count the places she followed me to playing music. I already miss her terribly. Her arrangements are on facebook since that's how the kids tell me it done these days and online at www.culpepperfuneralhome.com for anyone that would like to know. Thanks to the steel guitar forum for providing this format to allow me to share this with my friends in the steel guitar community. Joel

Joel and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your family's profound loss. I went to Sherry's memorial page to pay my respects and to see her obituary and your lovely pictures. She was beautiful....
God bless you, Joel.

joel;
I do know some of how you feel. I shared that experience a year and a half ago. it is the reality of life, but, it does go on. the good memories never leave. the times they do get better. keep in touch with friends and don't go it alone. I'm just up the road if I can help.
I know that the holiday's don't help, but, don't let 'em get you down.
