Scottie and Chuck were close friends in high school, so we became a four-some in college. As our children came along, we all got together often. We will miss her smile and warmth. Our condolences to Scottie, Jill and Marc.

I am so sad to hear this news. I grew up with Sheri when we both lived on Washtenaw. We were good friends back then. I'm happy to hear that she lived such a good and meaningful life. My condolences to her family.
