I have just finished watching "David Phelps Classic" and was shocked when I looked up his sister and found out she had gone Home to be with our Lord.I am going to see if I can locate some of her recordings. My sincere sympathy to Sherri's friends and family. I know she will be dearly missed. God Bless.

I am so saddened to hear of Sherri's passing, but am rejoicing that I know where she is and who she's worshiping even now. I knew Sherri when I attended Western Heights Baptist Church. She and her roommate Susan, mentored me while I was in high school. It seems so funny now that I realize she was only 2 years older than me!! Unfortunately, I lost track and have tried to find her over the years to say thank you!! So I will tell you, her family, I was blessed by your mother and Mark, your wife. She has left a legacy that I am passing on to my children.

To the Phelps and Proctor families, no words can heal the hurt or fill the loss. I only just now read about Sheri's passing. I will certainly be lifting all of you up in my prayers. I never had the joy of having a sibling every time I hear of the loss of someone's brother or sister passing it just breaks my heart. The only thing I know to say is that I am so very sorry and heartbroken to hear of Sherri's passing and of your loss. I pray blessings on you all always.

I met Sherri & her daughter at one of David's concert, along with David & his wife. Just being in their present, God's love radiated all around. Their voices are so wonderful, they brought me great joy, listening to them sing. I found out that we are distant cousins; but, to me Sherri was my sister in Christ. Prayers are with all.

I learned of Sherri's death and did not know the guestbook was online. I am so glad it is. She was such an inspiration to me and you see the love of Jesus in her eyes as she sang. I was never lucky enough to see her in person, but I am sure she is singing her heart out to God and He is enjoying every song. I will meet her in heaven and maybe then I can personally hear her sing.

On Sat night's I watch Gaither Homecoming Hour. I am listening to David Phelp's speak of his sister's battle with Breast Cancer and he introduces her as they both sing " Walk On"...both Phelps children have angelic voices and the song touched me deeply. I was unaware of Sherri's passing until just now and I felt I needed to post in her guest book as her voice has inspired me to not worry as i'll never be alone....prayers to both Phelps and Proctor's families.

So sorry to hear of Sherri's passing. Her voice was truly angelic. I loved to hear her and David sing together their music blessed and uplifted the spirit. My prayers are with all the families. Sonja/Bahamas

I know when a loved one has gone to be with the Lord (my Mom and Dad are with HIM also)so many words and thoughts are shared with the family and friends.I don't know the words I can express how I feel. I have met and talked with Sherri. An instant connection. The same Lord and Savior we both love and serve.What a sweet, gentle spirit and a voice to match.We will continue to pray for the Phellps and Proctor families. It's when everyone (family and friends) have all gone back to their everyday lives that much,much prayer, uplifting and encouragement will be needed for such a time as this.I especially pray for David. I have a brother I love dearly. The bond between brother and sister is great.Many, many prayers to the throne of God will be in the days to come. Bless you families.

Dear Proctor & Phelps Families,
I send you prayers of comfort, peace and rest to stay strong for the days ahead. I am so incredibly sorry for Sherri's passing so young and leaving all of you with broken hearts! I have seen David in concert many times and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment I've heard him sing. Now the Angels are singing for you so might keep your strength as all of you comfort each other. From all of us here in Michigan who have loved you so, God's blessings, comfort and hugs as big as this world around!

Wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend...what a remarkable life she shared with those around her. I had the pleasure of meeting Sherri when our church promoted a concert for David in 2007, the time spent with her that day was special, such a sweet person. I extend my heartful sympathy to the family left behind, may memories keep her close.

Gene,
I am so very sorry to learn about Sherri's passing. I am so very thankful and grateful to you,for letting your kids know that I lived in Ft. Smith and wanted to get to visit with them, while on tour. Sherri and Kari both stood and talked with me for approx. 15 minutes. I got to meet her son while tearing down the stage. My prayers and thoughts are with you and Mary Ella at this time. If ever near Ft. Smith, stop and spend the night! Also, my dad was born in Columbia, TN! Small world... Again, my condolences.

I have seen Sherri sing many times and really loved her and her voice. One of my favorites was on the video with Sherri and David sitting on the hearth singing a duet. Beautiful spirit and lovely person. She will surely leave a void in David's solo concerts.

Sherri's passing. We are so very sorry for your loss. Sherri was a beautiful lady, inside and out, and we remember fondly our days together at IABC.

May God's grace and peace sustain you as you celebrate her life on Saturday and in the days ahead. Love to all, Bill & Elaine Gillum

I've only recently heard David Phelps' music and in that time he has quickly become my favorite singer. Through him, I've been blessed to also listen to Sherri Proctor's beautiful singing which glorified God from here on earth and will glorify Him even more now in paradise with Christ Jesus and the heavenly angels... I didn't know of her battle with cancer, but one thing I do know from her example of singing despite it is that she was truly a "good and faithful servant" of the Lord our King, filled with His Spirit, in whom life doesn't end but begins.. My prayers and heart go out for the Proctors and Phelps in this sorrowful time. But I hopes it helps to know that all sadness here is but an instant compared to the eternal joy we will have when we are together again. Love to you all in Christ our Lord and Savior,

We send our sympathies to your families. We enjoyed hearing Sherri at the many David Phelps concerts over the past 8 years and listening to her sweet voice on many cd's. We can't even imagine the loss you must all feel and even though we know she's enjoying heaven, it doesn't make up for her loss here on earth. Our prayers are with you.

It was an honor to meet Sherri at Barn Bash 2012. I was able to tell David (Phelps) at the National Quartet Convention that, for me, the highlight of Barn Bash 2012 was being able to hear and see Sherri sing. I told him I was not aware of her battle, but her presence truly conveyed the love that Christ has for us. All of us are so blessed to have had the opportunity to hear and see Sherri minister over the years, and our faith tells us that we will have the opportunity to do that again one day. We mourn, yet we rejoice, because of the hope that we have in Christ. Our prayers go out to the Phelps & Proctor families for comfort, and we pray for a great harvest of souls yet to come who will have an opportunity to hear and see Sherri's legacy on CD or video and commit their lives to Christ.
