It seems as only yesterday that we were attending North Rowan. To hear of Sherri's passing sadden my heart. She was such a WONDERFUL, GREAT lady in school and afterwards such a lovely wife and mother. We never understand why things happen to such remarkable people. But to have been able to call Sherri my friend was and honor. Remembering all of you in my prayers during this hard time. May God wrap his arms around you and show you his comfort and love.

I was so saddened to hear about the earthly loss of such a dear classmate and former neighbor. Since childhood every memory I have of Sherri is of her kindness and that sweet smile. Our last conversation a few years ago we talked about the importance of family and loved ones. My thoughts and prayers are with her family now and always.

McKenzie/Imes/Woods Family,
Sherri was a wonderful person with a very quiet voice and always smiling. With all that she was going through, she always had inspirational words for others. I remember every morning for a few months she would send an inspirational text message to my phone to help get the day started. I always enjoyed getting those messages. Anthony, your mom was so very proud of you. I remember speaking with her in the store and she talked about how you were such a great son who never gave her any type of trouble and she was so grateful that the Lord blessed her with you. She was proud of everything you are doing in your life. Cherish the moments you had with her and remember she will always be smiling down on you from heaven. God Bless You All.
