My condolences to Betsy, Tim and extended family. I just heard of Sherri's passing from my my mother. (Joyce Emberlin Ratliff) If had known I would have brought her. Seems a shame the only time we see each other is at times like this, just know you are in our prayers.

Vickie, I don't know if you remember me but we knew each other as kids. Your mom and mine were friends (Jeanne Comer) and we vacationed at Hamilton Lake, Cold Springs. I was so sorry to read that Sherri passed away. I hope your good memories of time spent with Sherri will ease the pain of losing her.

May God comfort your family and give you the strength to get through this sad time. I have some wonderful memories of her life. As much as it hurts, I'm glad her suffering is over and she is in the care of her Lord and Savior. She'll always be with us in our hearts. God bless the family and give you peace.

Throughout a lifetime many people come into your life as friends and acquaintances, but very few enter your life and remain a lifetime friend. Sherri was a lifetime friend to me. Sherri - I will surely miss knowing that you were there and my looking forward to our next visit.

My Dearest Sherri,
"God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come to me".
I will miss you my friend and all the wonderful times we had together over the past 55 years. Love, Pat
