Sherri Adams Success Success is speaking words of praise, In cheering other people's ways. In doing just the best you can. With every task and every plan, It's silence when your speech would hurt, Politeness when your neighbor's curt, It's deafness when the scandal flows, And sympathy with other's woes, It’s loyalty when duty calls, It’s courage when disaster falls, It’s patience when the hours are long, It's found in laughter and in song, It's in the silent time of prayer, In happiness and in despair, In all of life and nothing less, We find the thing we call success. On September 26,1963, Sherri Adams was born to Mr. and Mrs. James Adams. On October 25,1980, Sherri was tragically taken from her family and friends. In those seventeen years were packed many of the accomplishments most people do not realize in an entire lifetime. How do we remember her? She was president of her sophomore class, football homecoming attendant, president of speech club and two-year qualifier for State Speech Tournament, freshman cheerleader full of spirit, Sunday school teacher, lay witness commentator, an artist (studied at the Canton Art Institute), a musician (starred in “Brigadoon”), an actress at Players Guild, president of the Teen Board, and an active member of the annual staff and National Honor Society. She also led midget-football cheerleaders and earned a Magna Cum Laude in Latin. Although Sherri had many accomplishments in her lifetime, those who knew her well probably best remember her for her warm, caring, and friendly personality. Sherri had that unique ability of making all feel welcome and at ease with her. She could bring sunshine into someone’s day just by her cheery face, bright smile, and always having something nice to say. Her deep concern and enthusiasm touched all those who had the opportunity of knowing her. She is loved like a sister. Her life full of activity touched us all and is now a living memorial to what can be accomplished in so short a time. Thank you, Sherri, for the inspiration. You built a monument that will never crumble.
