I met Sheri about 5 years ago online, we talked herbs, crystals, shared recipes and meditated in a group together. Her smile lit up the screen, she was always laughing and she shared her photos and the love she had for her family with us. She will be deeply missed.
My condolences to her family and friends, Sheri was a blessing.

Although we didn't get to spend much time together due to the miles we lived apart, I always treasured the in person and virtual visits with my cousin Sheri. Her family is very dear to my heart and in my prayers.

Sheri was always looking for the beauty in everything. From her garden that she cared for to the stunning photos she took. She always had a big smile on her face especially when she talked about her family. You will be so missed.

I met Sheri during my tenure at the DLJ. There wasn't many days that her and I ended our days without conversations by her desk. She made my time, not only at the Journal, but also in Devils Lake, a pleasant one. To the family, may God wrap His arms around you in comfort and love.

Sheri was a great person. I had the pleasure of working with her at the Devils Lake Journal and taking photos with her at White Horse Hill. She will always be remembered.
