Sherrri you were and are the best Daughter in-law, mother and life mate that anyone could ever have. Your love will never leave us. You are still a part of everyone you ever met. Special lady, special angle. Thank you for shaing yourself with us.

I was blessed to be a part of Sherri's life for a couple of years! She was my twin at heart, Janie always complained to me and Sherri, saying we both were so much alike. we drove my sis crazy at times with our same personalities. well that made me and sherri feel good knowing their was always one of us to do so, Sherri was a giving, caring and beautiful friend, she will be missed. Cory and Josh... your mom had endless love for you both, and of course her soul mate Bill. Thanks for sharing her with us. Wilma thompson
