Assigned prayer partners our freshman year at Wheaton College, Sheryl and I developed a friendship that lasted beyond our years at school. Sheryl was my first prayer partner. Minus the semester she spent in D.C., we prayed together weekly. We carried each other's burdens. Even though we only visited each other a handful of times after graduation, Sheryl remained close to my heart. Praying together periodically on the phone was a highlight of our friendship. December 2019 was the last we visited on the phone. She shared her deep concerns for her husband and girls and how wonderful they were to her. She poured out her heart regarding her affliction. Although I felt inadequate to pray for my sister, she readily accepted my offer. The most beautiful part was when she said, "I want to pray for you too." In the middle of extreme struggles and pain, she chose to lift up to the Lord me and my needs as well as my families, yet I hadn't even shared them. During that last call and prayer time Sheryl's resemblance to Christ was unmistakable-- she displayed a generous burdened love for her family and also for me. Impressed in my memory will be Sheryl's desire to carry my burdens in prayer even in the midst of her own grief. Matt, Carissa, and Audrey, often, Rob and I, with burdened hearts lift you up in prayers.

I'm so blessed by Sheryl's life from the few minutes we were able to spend praying after church one day. God continues to bless me with the memory of Sheryl's sweet spirit and the way she encouraged me in my ministry. Our God is so kind, giving us Sheryl during this time in history so we could experience her and her life and all she graciously accomplished for Him while she was with us.
Thank you Matt for including us in your gain and loss. We love you and pray for you and your family.

I am so very sorry for this tremendous loss and I have great memories of her. Sheryl was:
always smiling
always friendly, upbeat, and positive
always quick to share her favorite books
always a great mother and wife to a wonderful family
always dedicated to her life values
always really fun to talk to
always a great parent to Pippin, rest in peace, Pippin!
and most importantly,
always laughed at my tremendously lame jokes
I feel truly grateful to have known Sheryl and I am going to miss her. Deepest condolences to the Matt, Carissa, and Audrey during this difficult time and wishing for the absolute best.

Dear Sheryl, I am so blessed to have a sister like you. Growing up we shared a countless number wonderful times together. As soon as we were learning to walk, we were playing games and becoming fast friends. You taught me so much as we grew up together and I still remember all the fun we had on the family summer vacation road-trips, watching cartoons on Saturday morning together, playing ping-pong and so many other fun games, collecting stickers together, making mix tapes together, celebrating all the holidays with mom and dad, and when we talked alone and held hands together this past Christmas, just to name a few things. Thank you for all these beautiful memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I am looking forward to the day when we will hold hands again. What a joyful day that will be! As you await the return of of all your loved ones, in the presence of the Lord Jesus, I know you will be safe, secure, and surrounded by love. Your brother, Dan

Last July, my family and I enjoyed eating lunch with Sheryl and her mom. We listened to her share crazy stories of Honey Rock Camp from Wheaton College days. It was wonderful watching my husband and the boys smiling and laughing with her. Sheryl was a lovely lady.

To Sheryl’s family and friends:
Look for the signs. Sheryl’s spirit will surround you when you least expect it and surly when you need it most.
Embracing the signs is the best foundation for belief that the spirit endures after the pain of loss is felt. The spirit is indeed a powerful thing.

Last summer this fearless wonder woman got up her comfortable beach chair on our Chincoteague dock and set out to paddle board in our bay for the first time. I remember all of us watching her in amazed wonderment mixed with a tinge of fearful worry.Thank you for sharing your time together with us. Love that life force energy you exuded and shared. I celebrate all the vitality of your life.
Thoughts and prayers are with your family as they travel this final journey

My friendship with Sheryl, on this earth, was too short. I wish I could have known her longer but even in our short time together she made a big impact! My favorite memories were hearing her share about her passion for Shade and about her efforts, using her journalism skills, to advocate on behalf of the suffering. I always felt both blessed and challenged when I read her writing. She was determined to be a voice for the hurting. I loved Sheryl’s fun-loving side too! Her zest for life and sense of humor were contagious. I will miss my friend but her ability to shine light into the dark parts of this world live on, both in her work and writing and in her beautiful daughters.

Sheryl and I went to high school together, and made so many special memories. Many of the best ones were made in Europe, where we were roommates for almost a month. Sheryl was always smiling, always full of Christ’s light and love. I will always remember her for her kindness, her beautiful smile, her intellect and her heart for Jesus. I am so sad for her entire family. I am so glad she is no longer in pain. I know I will see her again. I love you, Sheryl❤️

Sheryl came to visit her mom and brother in late July, which was the last time we got to see her. When she came to San Diego, it was so hard to believe that she had been sick —she was so energetic and full of life!! She was on fire to do everything, and she did—from surfing to skydiving and beating us in ping pong. She had such a funny sense of humor. Showing us her "tattoo" (it looked so real) While waiting for her to meet us, she sent this picture of her at the zoo. She said she was running late because a bear had stolen her purse. The picture cracked us up. What an AMAZING person she was!! She will be missed by so so many. Prayers of love and comfort for her family and friends. xo Tiffany & Court Patton

This is my favorite pic of Sheryl. She lived her life walking in the light. Sheryl was an amazing wife, mother, and friend and will be missed terribly by all who were blessed to know her.

It occurs to me that as Sheryl's mother, I have known Sheryl longer than anyone. So I will speak of the love of life that she brought into our home. If you are a family member, a friend or neighbor, or even an acquaintance, you know what I mean. It became apparent to me early on that "letting go" would be in our future, letting her go after high school to attend Wheaton College and from there to graduate school in Washington D.C. You see, she was interested in public policy and the decision making that went on in Washington. Her move to D.C. led to marriage and the balancing of all her earthly roles with one foot on the east coast, the other on the west coast. You would think that letting go would become easier with practice. Not so. This is the hardest. Perhaps like me, you are experiencing the taking of chunks of ourselves with her. Yes, I still feel the scald even though I know that death does not have the last word. God does.
In the book "On the Road with Augustine," James K.A. Smith writes that we all yearn to go home - the home we've never been to. The question is how do we get there? Smith suggests that we climb on and hang onto the cross of Christ. Sheryl has taken that raft ride on the cross to the home she's never been to. And someday we will join her.
We love you, Sheryl, and miss you,
Diane Henderson

Mrs. Henderson and Blunt family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m unsure if you remember me but I was a friend of Sheryl’s in Junior High and High School, and was informed by Terri Menard. I am deeply saddened by this news, but also noticed that the funeral home is near my home in Virginia and cannot believe we were living near each other and never knew. If there is a service and is open to friends, please let me know. May God comfort you and your family during this difficult time.

“This is so amazing!” That was Sheryl’s exclamation often as we were on an incredible trip to Disney World in 2014. It was a trip for my 50th birthday, and Sheryl and six other friends and family came with me to celebrate. Her childlike enthusiasm and energy on that trip was how she lived her life. I can still hear her throaty, infectious laugh, and see her beautiful smile! There are so many happy memories with her that I will treasure always. She loved going to my themed parties and having some of her own. Who could forget her heavy metal party where we all dressed up like rockers? She had a love of music. She loved playing it, listening to it, and dancing to it. I regret I never got to go with her on one of her swing dancing outings, but we enjoyed playing music together and going out to watch local performers play.
I told her in a card recently that she was beautiful inside and out and that was so true. I feel so grateful that I got to spend some precious last moments with her to laugh, cry and pray together and say goodbye – for now. I know we will see each other again.
The world is a little duller and heaven a little brighter now. I am so glad that we have that hope that we will see her again. As it says in I Corinthians 15:55, “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death is your sting?”
