What a wonderful friend and neighbor she was with me. I wished we kept in touch after we graduated but we didn't until recently on facebook. She is in a better place and not suffering anymore as well as reunited with those she loved who went before her Sending my love to her family knowing that we are still all in shock about having to lose her at a very young age. Until we meet again may GOD keep her in his loving Arms.

To my dearest and sweetest and loved childhood friend and neighbor. The days of playing Hide & Seek, walking to school with Jenny, (taking turns walking on the "bush" side), playing school in our basements, watching I Love Lucy, Dark Shadows...I could go on forever. She taught me so much and I am still in shock over this. Donnie, you two were great together, and I know you will miss and long for her everyday. My prayers are with you and Ashley and Kailee. I pray you find strength and love from all of these posts.

Sherri was my beloved sister-in-law but more of a sister to me. Our talks at night would last forever and I will miss them. My heart breaks for you, Ashley, Kailee and Jean. I wish I were there and not 1600 miles away. She is probably already playing euchre and hopefully not cheating. Love and prayers to you all Jay and Karen (Baughman) Richards.

Dear Don and Ashley,
We were so sorry to hear the news about Sherry. You and Sherry made us feel welcome when Blair started middle school at Clintonville Academy in the 6th grade and then went on to attend DeSales together as part of the class of 2009.

Our deepest sympathies to your family at this sad time. Our hearts our breaking for you. Ashley, I want you to know especially that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
