On Friday June 15th. I got one of those phone calls that no one ever wantsto get and trust me I have gotten to many in the past years.
I got a call from Sherri Martel's husband that she had passed.
I am still in shock. But I have to be strong for her son, mom, sister and husband.

I have lost my best friend and that is what I keep telling everyone.
I met Sherri through Brett Hart in Philadelphia. Being a wrestling fan I was
used to watching her on TV and here she was working out in my gym that I
helped out at. Well she and I chatted and it started a wonderful and crazy 20
yr. friendship.

We have had crazy trips and even more crazier times. I know so
many people are going to say I am bragging, I am not.
She was an everyday wonderful person and a true friend. I have never known
such a generous and sweet person.
When she contacted me about being inducted into the Hall Of Fame and wanted
me there, I was so honored. As her husband and myself were waiting to go in I
saw Ric Flair, he saw me and said "I knew you would be here for "Queenie".

Many times we went over her speech and when she said she had to say something
about me I was NO. This is your night to shine. She said you have been with
me and this is your night also.
I am very honored that I knew Sherri and could call her my BEST FRIEND. As
Jim Ross wrote "God broke the mold when he made her". Yes he did because
perfection is a one time thing.
I love you Sherri and always will. A piece of my heart died 13 yrs. ago with
Joey Marella and an even bigger one did on June 15th.
Please always remember what a great lady and a wonderful friend she was she
touched so many people.
Thank you for being my friend Sherri
I love you
Kathy Fitzpatrick

I know how extremely difficult this was for Kathy to write. We have been on the phone a lot, crying together.
Yes, Sherri Martel has left a very empty space in everyone's hearts.
I also want to thank all the fans who have written, called, send photo's to share, video's and memories of a GREAT lady.
I am just so grateful that the WWE inducted her into the Hall of Fame last year.
It was a very special night for an extremely wonderful lady in this crazy world of wrestling.
Sherri you will be in our hearts forever.
