Remembering our dear friend Sherri today and everyday. The space we hold where she once lived is insufficient to the task of remembering her but it is what we have. I think often of her laugh and smile, of her children and sister, and I pray for all who miss her so d early.

God bless the Embrey and Warner families. I thought of Sherri today as I was posting an online obituary tribute to my mother and wondered how you all were doing.
My God bless and keep all of you.

To Sherri's family and friends: I met Sherri when she was in high school and would babysit for my two girls. We will never forget her. She became family and friend. We kept in touch for all the years we moved around. I will never forget her laughter and high spirits. Heaven is getting a wonderful angel!

Today is the first day I heard about Sherri, from seeing the Star Exponent. I met Sherri over 20 years ago when she was good friends with my brother. She was a very loving an kind hearted person. My parents and I are very sorry and saddened for her lost and our prayers go to her family. Our deepest sympathy. The McDaniel Family.

We met Sherri at one of the Culpeper Airport Open Houses, some years ago. She was a familiar face at the airport, and was always happy to be around airplanes. She was really a neat person, and it was obvious that her family was the most important part of her life.
Sherri was a truly good soul, who took a great deal of pleasure in making others happy. It was a real joy to be around her, as Sherri could always make everyone smile. She'll be missed deeply, and forever remembered by...

I met Sherri at Business School in Vienna, VA. She was the typical country girl. I was the city girl she thought would never talk to her. We became friends and keep up our long-distance friendship through the years. Eventhough we only visited twice a year and kept in touch with email I considered Sherri one of my life-long friends. I am very sad that Sherri has left us but it is a great feeling to know that I have another friend in heaven when I get there.
