I was so very shocked to hear this horrible sad news from my daughter about Kerri's passing away. I met her through my daughter Trish at one of the many food shows we all attended. She was the most warm and thoughtful and kind and giving and more person with such inter and outer beauty. I have pictures of her that my daughter and I will treasure always and memories and moments no one will take away from us. She will be deeply missed by so many. I just wish our Colorado visit would have been able to have been kept but timing did not let that happen. Out of pain and free now. R I P Beautiful Kerri. Forever in our hearts and never forgotten. Just pure Love that you gave to all of us. Love you and until we all get together again. ❤☮

Her energy and kindness were unsurpassed. I have many fond memories from high school and we've even ran into one another at the airport once. I pray she's at peace and for her family's comfort.
