Not sure what to say?

Sheri,
Can't beleive it! For one who unabashedly reached out and touched SO many of our hearts to go so soon. Rest easy my friend.

Dear Sheri,

I know you have fill heaven with the scent of roses! I will miss you girlfriend!

Love,
Ruby Alexandra Beloz

Sheri, I wish I could have gotten to know you better. I only knew you through online horse groups, but I always admired your spirit and resilience. May God bless you and hold you in his hands, and may we meet again over the Rainbow Bridge.

I only knew Sheri through the Horses (Old and Young) chat group. She was compassionate and caring and we always looked forward to her posts. She will be very much missed. My heartfelt sympathy to her family, especially her daughters, for their loss.

Sherri touched the lives of so many with such little effort. To her warmly caring just came naturally. May her warmth live on in the memories of all whos lives she so graciously touched so many many times. May she caress each soft horse muzzle and hug each one of those friends who follow her across the Rainbow Bridge
Creator Care Gently For You and Yours Sherri (((((((Hugs))))))))

Sheri,
I didnt know you to well but you were on Horses- Old and Young and I had read a couple of your posts. From the others on there you sounded like a sweetheart. I was going to order flowers for your funeral but I had bite off more than i can chew.

Sheri,
You were like a sister to me and it was a blessing to know you and have such a wonderful friendship for so many years. Thanks for all the wonderful memories that I will always cherish, all the fun with the horses, for teaching me so much about horses and mostly for always being my friend and being there for me. I will miss you very much, especially your smile and contagious laugh and I'm certain we will see each other again in a much better place....=)!

Love...

Sheri you brought some loughter into this city up here and you were a good freind to all vets. We will all miss your smile and that crazy laugh of yours. Don will have a hard time now not having you to pick on him and keep him straight.So long for now will meet again in the ever after.Smitty

Sheri, I remember when you guys all came to pick out your puppy. Dayna was a tough choice for you... you wanted both of the puppies to go with you.. even tried to talk your friend into the other one. Your visit filled our home with sunshine in winter. The video you sent at Christmas with Dayna's trip home and the first year of her life is one we cherish as we did you and your friendship. Fly with God and the angels and think of us as we will of you.
