My prayers and condolences to Kerri and all of her family and friends.
This young lady had a very tough road throughout her life. With that said. She never gave in. I hadnt seen her in decades from our days on the Ambulance Squad. I happened to be back home and by sheer chance our lives crossed paths.
She had become blind in that time and a friend was helping her that day. When she heard my voice she immediately recognized I was near and requested to visit with me.
A smile as big as America and her loving heart. She did nothing but tell me what a great guy I was. No Kerri. Im not the great guy. You are the gift that kept giving when others would have not. May God hold you close and know how Great a human you were. He surely got his earth angel back.
No more struggles. No more dark days. Enjoy eternal glory. See you when Im in the clouds with you.
