Sherri Martel's Family Issues Statement/Memorial & Funeral Arrangements
Submitted by Calvin Martin on Thursday, June 21, 2007 at 3:19 PM EST
From the Monday Night Mayhem mailing list:
This very special tribute to the late WWE Hall Of Famer return to The Mayhem
airwaves is now available in Real Audio.
Here are some of the highlights from the interview provided by The Mayhem's
official recapper, PWUSandman 41 & The Mayhem's co-host, The Big Mosh.
====================================================
*Sherri's son (Jared) & her long-time friend, travel partner, and sister
(Dawn), & Rob respectfully thanked The Big Mosh, Blade, & The Angry Hero for
having them on the show.
*Dawn will be in Alabama this Saturday and will collect cards & donations
for the services.
*Funeral arrangements are still up in the air right now.
*There will be a closed service for the wrestlers in the business, and the
fans will be able to join for the precession. There will not be a public
viewing.
*The fans can also see the precession at the grave site.
*Dawn said that her & Sherri always traveled and did everything together,
and that Sherri was a great person who loved her fans. She would always spend
time to meet with her fans. Dawn said that it is devastating to her that she
isn't going to be with Sherri after 18+ years of being together.
*Dawn & Jared will be at all of Sherri's future bookings to make up for
Sherri's passing.
*She said Sherri was very nervous during her WWE Hall Of Fame induction
ceremony and didn't know what to wear, and that Dawn had to calm her down before
the ceremonies took place.
*Jared said that he was with his mom when they traveled around, but was
never shown until WrestleMania weekend last year, when she was inducted into the
WWE Hall Of Fame.
*He said they were like best friends when they traveled together, and that
his mom truly loved the business.
*Jared talked about how his mom was very tough -- even before she died she
was still as tough as she used to be, and would put somebody in line if they
needed it.
*Dawn said that the business has definitely changed since Sherri first
started, because she has not seen anyone as tough or work as hard as Sherri did.
*Jared talked about the times that he spent with her mom, as well as the
times that he had to travel without Sherri to make it to the locations that she
needed to be in.
*Both of them are getting a tattoo of Sherri to show how important Sherri is
to the family -- it's the way for them to "stay together" with Sherri
forever.
*Sherri & Jared talked about the Mr. McMahon "death" storyline, and how they
continued after Sherri's passing. The family is indeed upset at this, but
said that Sherri would have wanted the show to go on anyway.
*In closing, Jared & Dawn want the fans to remember Sherri for what she did
for wrestling, her fans, & how she was instead of her recent passing/how she
is now.
