In Memory of Jerry and Sherlene Church


Jerry Church and Sherlene Robinson married in December of 2007.  They were a fun loving couple.  Both of them were good citizens who helped other people.  If you were with them, you were enjoying yourself.  Jerry and Sherlene did not even make it to celebrate their first anniversary.  Their lifeless brutaly beaten bodies were found in their Waverly Hall, Ga home on June 29, 2008.  

Jerry retired honorably from the US Army.  He served two tours in Vietnam and earned a bronze star and three purple hearts, among several other awards.  He served his country with pride and honor.  He was very intelligent and tutored students of all ages in Math.  He was a talented writer, machinist, and woodworker.  He was a loyal and good friend.  He helped the neighbors and the community.  He was so very proud of his new wife.  He continously talked about her beauty and kindness.

Sherlene was originaly from Bermuda.  She had lived in the United States for about thirty years.  She was very fun to be around.  She was a talented entertainer.  She played the drums and sang.  She was a well respected member of her church and community.  She gained enjoyment through helping others.

Jerry and Sherlene would go play music for the local nursing homes on the weekend.  They liked bringing enjoyment into other people's lives.  Their love of music is what bonded them, but their love for each other is what kept them together.

They touched the lives of many and will be dearly missed by their friends and family members.
