Just talking out loud some of my thoughts here.. For me, personally I feel very secure that Sherry is in fact deceased for certain.. Why I believe this so strongly tho, we've yet to have it confirmed to us, the public or media is for the obvious reason.. Of course, that being that the family was contacted Friday before 9am and told their missing loved one was in fact deceased.. That we know for certain, but beyond that we know nothing.. While I feel pretty confident that the family received much more information and pertinent details regarding their loved ones death than what we have or know(which is flat zero, nil, none).. While I'm fairly confident in that What doubt I have I pray I'm wrong about and that for reasons unbeknownst to us at this time we, the public are not privy to neither the info (that I pray to God this family did in fact receive yesterday from LE officials).. Nor even a simple confirmation of the fact that Sherry is deceased.. Yes, frustrating and at this time nonsensical I do have to just truly be patient and trust that officials have EXTREMELY GOOD reason for why they are choosing or having to leave these details unconfirmed to the public or media..
But after the family's early morning confirmation of whats been their very worst fear coming to fruition its really what it seems offocials did next that leaves me scratching my head with the most questions of WTH? And thats with officials following their early morning talk with Sherry's family their next move is really baffling to me in that they proceeded to make a phone call at 9:30am yesterday, Friday the 13th morning to the Sidney Public School District where we know at minimum they were told that Sherry Arnold was in fact deceased.. Obvious too IMO is that upon alerting the Public School Distict that Sherry was deceased they were not told to keep this info to themselves or anything similar of that nature due to the school districts then alerting the school of Mrs. Arnold's death and a decision to end the school day early along with canceling all school related weekend activities and replace them with an immediate memorial service to be held at the school that evening(that from the few accounts that I've read was seemingly open to the public, if not encouraged).. As I understood it to be a very special and appreciated coming together for the school, the community, and many leaders of the community as well..
It is that knowledge of those events that for me solidify not only that Sherry is in fact deceased but that obviously IMO there is knowledge which IMO must in some way confirm this.. So, while I understand and find it "usual" or rather NOT UNusual for officials to have gone to the family, specifically and shared this information that their loved one is deceased.. That IMO is not unusual in the least.. It's that officials then followed up with releasing it certainly appears to be that same important information to the town's PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT and allowed them to then share that info with all administration, staff, faculty, students, and parents as well.. It is that which makes me scratch my head because it certainly seems to me that in doing so the officials have essentially shared this extremely important information regarding Sherry Arnold with a pretty large percentage of the community in their doing so.. And then for reasons unbeknownst to the remainder of citizens of the community they at this time are left unknowing of what has become of Sherry Arnold.. That is very strange to me.. And that's where I'm left head scratching?!? Just can't make any sense of it.. Why would officials go thru the process of announcing Sherry's death to just "some of the community" and not to the rest of the community and public as a whole?? In their choosing to contact the city of Sidney's "PUBLIC" School District and release such vital information regarding even confirmation of death they must realize that it causes much questioning of exactly WTH is going on.. So, it's that choice made by officials that I guess leaves me the most baffled and at this point pretty much nonsensical(tho I fully realize and respect that there is very likely very good reason with which they are having to proceed this way AT THIS TIME).. And as I said I'm truly just typing out some of my thoughts on this matter..
Whatever is the case I do feel certain that she in fact deceased and am fairly certain that they must have definite evidence of her death in order for their to have taken the announcing of such to family and half of the Sidney community.. The schools following thru with the memorial does solidify those as facts for me(as I feel as tho if officials had somewhat questioned the validity of what they shared with family and the school district regarding Sherry's death.. If something had arisen or come to their attention that in any way caused them to doubt what they'd stated and released I feel as tho there would have been no way in hell they'd have allowed for that memorial to take place last night but rather forced a postponement)..
For now I must work on my patience and wait patiently for this to conclude as officials are so desiring for it to(as in IMO finding and recovering Sherry's body).. For whatever reason I do feel as tho that's not gonna be too far off in the future.. Atleast that's what I'm hoping and praying is the case.. Most of all for this family to atleast receive some modicum of closure thus beginning that long hard road to grieving their loved one, Mrs. Sherry Arnold..
