Most of my memories of Sherri are of when she lived in OKC. Unfortunately, I've only seen her a few times since she moved to California, but all of my memories of her are her smiling, laughing, making jokes. You just couldn't help but feel better after seeing her. Our prayers are with all of her family. Take her memory and live life to the fullest. Love to you all. Your cousin, Jennifer from OKC

Our dear Sherri, your life was to short, you always could make us laugh
with your cute ways and the things you would do or say. We didn't get
to see you very often , when we did it was always a fun memory. When
we see the stars at night we know that one of the brightest is in memory of you. We will miss you but never forget you.
Loved you, Aunt Jeannie and Uncle JE
