A Special Memory of Sherri Martel!

Though I am STILL in SHOCK and am GRIEVING the loss of Sherri Martel, I wanted to share just ONE of MY SPECIAL memories of "The Sensational One"!

We...the WWF...were in Spokane, Washington! It was the final night of our tour, just before the Christmas break of 1990 or 1991.

The show was over, and we were preparing to leave for either HOME or the hotel, before heading home.

Sherri was EXCITED, because she told me that this would be the FIRST time in several years (at THAT time) that she would be spending Christmas with her SON!

I was SO HAPPY for her! I told her that I was SO GLAD and HAPPY that she would be spending Christmas with her family!

With THAT, Sherri looked at me, smiled that SPECIAL, "Sherri Martel" SMILE, gave me a BIG hug and kissed me on the cheek and then said something SO SPECIAL to ME, that I've ALWAYS remembered it, and I ALWAYS WILL remember it! She said to ME, Michael Porter..."Baby...YOU ARE MY FAMILY TOO!"

I was SO touched at her act of KINDNESS towards ME that night, that I just stood there and wept...UNASHAMEDLY...right there in the locker room! And...I didn't care WHO saw me!

But several of the boys and girls there that night, came up to put their arms on my shoulder or around me and wished me a Merry Christmas and a SAFE trip home...because I had a 600 or 700 mile DRIVE home the next day, because I was in charge of the ring on that tour, and was driving the Ring Truck back home to Sacramento, CA. from Spokane.

But...it was Sherri Martel who made my LONG drive home MUCH SHORTER, with her act of GENUINE KINDNESS and CARING!

GOD BLESS YOU, Sherri! And REST IN PEACE, MY FRIEND!

And...in closing...I would like to THANK ALL OF YOU, for your responses and comments to my previous blog and bulletin on Sherri's passing! I WILL respond back to you...in time! I just needed a couple of days to gather myself and to REMEMBER Sherri...in MY OWN WAY and PRIVATELY! I'm sure that you understand and respect that! But...I WILL get back to you!
