Clark and Jack, you are often in my thoughts. Some never have a good mom. You did. That can never be taken from you. She loved you so much. Your Aunt Susan and I get together once in a while. She has all good things to say and loves you so much. I'm sure we'll always miss your mom, til we see her again. ❤

I WILL MISS SHERRI'S SMILING FACE. I WILL REMEMBER HER BEING WITH MY DAUGHTER VICKI AND OTHER FRIENDS HAVING FUN AS THEY GREW UP. SHE WAS ALWAYS VERY PERSONABLE AND WELL LIKED BY EVERYONE. SHE WOULD ALWAYS GO OUT OF HER WAY TO HELP YOU AT THE BANK AS IF YOU WERE HER ONLY CUSTOMER. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN AND THE REST OF HER FAMILY AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME.

Lord Jesus,
I know you have Sherry right in front of you. She loved you so on earth - and must be delighting in all you are and have made that we on earth only have an inkling of in our sight.
Please let Sherri know my heart - which you know - my love and thanks for the friendship, example of courage and trust, and example of loving life to the end.
Scott, Jack & Clarke -
Right now I'm just in shock. What a loss for you all! You know I'm always thinking of you Jack and Clarke with smiles and prayers as always. There remains so much we do not fully understand. God always welcomes how we are truly feeling - the "good, bad and the ugly" - he understands the depth of your loss and your hurts - your emptiness some days. I believe His greatest gift of His deeply loved and faithful son, to those who would hurt him for no good reason at all to provide the perfect match of a holy life to forgive all our sin, shows me how much he hates death and loved us, perhaps as much as you, and how much He wants us with Him forever - eternal LIFE. I have a feeling He just wants to walk beside you, listen to your words or your silence comfortably, and convince you of His love and his promises to be with you closely - as He was with your mom and wife. He is the constant when life's changes are so swift and hard - like a rolling sea. May you each find your hand in His, His peace bringing comfort to your hurting hearts, and your mom's love for life carrying you into each tomorrow with Him.

You are in my prayers. Sherri and I went to Albemarle High School and Burley Middle School. I will miss her very much. I wish I could have seen her again. I saw her a the bank about a year ago. I found out in December I have breast cancer. I hope they will find a cure for this stuff cause there are more women finding out they have it and my mother pasted in 1978 with breast cancer. You all will be in my prayers.

I am saddened to hear of Sherri's passing; however, my memories of her brings a smile to my face. She was beautiful inside and out and I am fortunate to have worked with her at Crestar and SunTrust. Sherri loved life and her family and always took her job seriously and with such professionalism. Her family is in my prayers and to them I say thank you for sharing this special lady with so many of us.

I knew Sherri from my years at SunTrust Bank. Sherri was respected, hard working, fair, fun!, and a wonderful role model for all the employees. From the time Sherri started at the bank everyone knew she would go far in her job and it was her enthusiasm, big heart, compassion, and intelligence that made her so special.
Sherri will be greatly missed.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Sherri's family. I have such wonderful memories of us all riding together at Keswick and going back to Shirley and Eddie's house for a great time...playing ball in the back yard with the famous ball pushing Jack Russell. Can't forget all those horse shows either......
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
