To the family, so sorry to hear about Kerri's passing. My deepest sympathies for your loss. I had the privilege to be her colleague in DE at a faith based agency; she was giving and caring to those she served as a therapist. May the God of all comfort give you his peace and keep you tenderly in his embrace. We shared in common Spirit Life Ministries, the NY Yankees and Joel Osteen. My prayers and thoughts go out to you all.

I had the honor of working with Kerri at Care Plus, NJ and knew her talents and capabilities to help those in need. She was a professional in every sense of the word and many have been helped by her. Her passing is beyond sad and untimely. God must have had plans for her in Heaven. May she rest in peace always. My prayers are with her. She was dear friend and colleague.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I went to Holy Angels with Kerri and we reconnected on Face Book a few years ago. She was a beautiful person inside and out. Your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. May your memories give you comfort.
