Remembering our dear friend Sherri today and everyday. The space we hold where she once lived is insufficient to the task of remembering her but it is what we have. I think often of her laugh and smile, of her children and sister, and I pray for all who miss her so d early.

God bless the Embrey and Warner families. I thought of Sherri today as I was posting an online obituary tribute to my mother and wondered how you all were doing.

My God bless and keep all of you.

To Sherri's family and friends: I met Sherri when she was in high school and would babysit for my two girls. We will never forget her. She became family and friend. We kept in touch for all the years we moved around. I will never forget her laughter and high spirits. Heaven is getting a wonderful angel!

Today is the first day I heard about Sherri, from seeing the Star Exponent. I met Sherri over 20 years ago when she was good friends with my brother. She was a very loving an kind hearted person. My parents and I are very sorry and saddened for her lost and our prayers go to her family. Our deepest sympathy. The McDaniel Family.

We met Sherri at one of the Culpeper Airport Open Houses, some years ago. She was a familiar face at the airport, and was always happy to be around airplanes. She was really a neat person, and it was obvious that her family was the most important part of her life.



Sherri was a truly good soul, who took a great deal of pleasure in making others happy. It was a real joy to be around her, as Sherri could always make everyone smile. She'll be missed deeply, and forever remembered by all who knew her.



From all of her friends at Culpeper Airport and National Capitol Squadron/CAF

I met Sherri at Business School in Vienna, VA. She was the typical country girl. I was the city girl she thought would never talk to her. We became friends and keep up our long-distance friendship through the years. Eventhough we only visited twice a year and kept in touch with email I considered Sherri one of my life-long friends. I am very sad that Sherri has left us but it is a great feeling to know that I have another friend in heaven when I get there.

I came to know Sherri about 4 years ago. I had just moved to the Reva area and Sherri and I were working on a real estate transaction together. Sherri and I became friends through this transaction and have worked on many together since. It was always a pleasure to talk with Sherri and I recently had the pleasure of sharing lunch with her. Sherri will always be remembered as a caring and compassionate person, a person who was the same at work and at play. She loved her family and it showed! I will miss the pleasant phone conversations and her friendship. My prayers are with her family.

You may not recognize my name. I am Beverly Lewis. As a child, I lived in Brandy about a half a mile from where you lived. My brother Rodney and Ellen graduated together I believe. I remember Sherri as a caring and warm person. Recently, I became "re-connected" with Sherri due to where she worked. I saw her just about everyday. She was always so happy when she talked about her children. Recently, she told me about how her oldest daughter was excelling in school. She was just beaming. I was so hurt when I heard the news. Words can't express how I feel. I know the person that Sherri was and know that she is in heaven now. To the children, just remember the memories of your Mom. Know that even though she is no longer here in the flesh, she will always be watching over you and guiding you. To her parents and sister, May God continue to Bless and watch over you during this time. Sherri is gone but will never be forgotten. God Bless.

Dwain and I will always remember Sherri as a mom who only wanted the best for her children. She was a great help with our Girl Scout troop. She was always smiling and laughing when she picked Stephanie up from Girl Scouts. We miss her very much. To her family, if there is anything you need, day or night, please give us a call and we'll be there. May God bless you all.

Sherri was a beautiful person and we cannot put into words the sadness we feel over her loss. Sherri loved Arizona and we are so happy that we had the opportunity to share one of her trips out here with her. God bless her entire family; our prayers are with you.

I am Sherri's cousin from Omaha, NE & even though I have not seen Sherri in several years I will always remember her happiness and that she was always smilling. My thoughts are with all of her family during this difficult time.

Kim and I last saw Sherri late October 2005. We were on our vacation visiting family members in the Virginia area. As always, she was very happy to see any family menber whenever she could. Sherri has always been a very out going person. I will always remember Sherri just the way she lived: Always smiling, laughing and having a good time where ever she was. I know Sherri is with Jesus and will live forever. Sherri, we will miss you.

To the Embrey and Warner Families:



There are just no words to express how completely at a loss I feel knowing that I will never see or hear from Sheri again. Words are of little comfort at a time like this, but please know that if there is anything, anything at all that you need or that I can do to help, please, please, just ask and it will be done.



And most especially to Sheri's mom, Dad, sister and children, please know that Sheri will always be remembered as a loyal, faithful, beautiful woman of the highest moral integrity. She was the best mom in the world and one of the dearest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Elaine and Mark Troy

We knew Sherri since she was a beautiful young girl. She was always positive, vibrant and displayed unconditional love to those she met. She left an incredible legacy in the lives of our children. They continue to love her and have very fond memories of her. The world is a much sadder place without her presence.



Our thoughts and prayers go out to her entire family; her mom Betty, her dad John and her sister Ellen and especially to her children. As you go through this very difficult time, our prayer is that you will draw close to each other and know that we are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Love, Mark, Elaine, Melissa and Cathy

Sherri was a young woman that everyone would want for a Mother, Daughter, Niece, or just a friend. I will miss her each and every day. Her passing has created a void in the family that can not be filled. Rest in peace sweetheart we all love you. Uncle Frank
