The last time I saw Kerri was at our cousins wedding in 1996. She was having a great time dancing I believe it was the bird dance...she brought so much joy I know her presence will be missed by family and her friends .

I will always remember Kerri's wonderful laugh and the fun we all had at Special Olympics, Camp Echo Bridge, swimming at Crystal Lake and "sleep away camp" in New Hampshire.

Rest in peace Kerri

Auntie Maisie. Benita, Debbie, Beth, Lennie, John, Katy and families.

My heart is broken for all of you with sweet Kerri's passing. She will forever hold a special place in my heart and I'm so thankful for many precious memories I have of time spent with her - my wedding, her trips to Newfoundland, our trips to Boston and Cape Breton. So many. She loved unconditionally and brought light every where she went. I wish I could be with you as you say your final farewell but I hope you know I am with you in heart. I love you all. Take care of yourselves and especially your mom. Xoxo

Dear Maisie, Katy and family,

My deepest condolences on your loss. Kerri was such an inspiration to me from the time I met her in elementary school - always there with a big hug and a smile. A highlight of my school years was volunteering at Special Olympics on Saturdays with Katy and Kerri - something I continue to do today with Newton Athletes Unlimited. While she will be deeply missed by her family and friends, it is comforting to know Kerri is now dancing in Heaven. May your family be surrounded by the wonderful memories of Kerri's beautiful life.

Kerri was a gift to all of us. She made us smile. She made us laugh. She made us all want to be her protector and ultimately, we become her biggest fans. We will miss her. My love to all of you.

Kerri,

I Happily remember the occasional times our paths crossed at meetings with your Mom. With a bit of the Celtic in me, I look forward to having a bit of a jig with you the next time we meet!

I let God be my guide (or dance partner!); I am at peace. A tweaked Unity affirmation just for Kerri. (Unity.org)

Dear Maisie and Family, Our heartfelt sympathy to you all on this tremendous loss. Kerri was a light in this world that brightened every room and place she walked in to. We knew Kerri and Maisie from Espousal days and miss those days as much as we miss seeing them every week. Kerri was such a delight and we want to be counted among her many fans. God gifted the world with Kerri and her incredible gift of intercessory prayer. She was so eager to pray for everyone whenever the need arose. What a gift Kerri was to us and so many others. We have our intercessor forever and trust God has her in His hands. We love you Kerri and will miss your light. Happy Birthday to you in Heaven - what a wonderful place to celebrate! Love, Susan & Carl Russo

I will always remember Kerri's smiles and joy in her voice when she saw me. The phone calls telling you the adventure of her day when she called for Katy and I answered the phone. Her light will be missed. Sending my love and prayers to you all.
