Dear Artie, John, Sam, Jennifer (Fers)…. Louis and I feel so blessed to have shared Sherri’s last days with her and all of you. We all had special moments with her, alone and together. Sherri was an Angel on Earth and as Louis said… She had an express pass to Heaven. I will always cherish my “CeCe” and keep her memory alive. I think we will all never forget her last gift to us after “In The Garden”. Sherri has been truly blessed by such a loving family, and we are all blessed to have been loved by her.
I love you CeCe…. See you in my dreams, in hummingbirds & butterflies… Your sister Lori

My heart goes out to you. Sherry was “my”cousin, the one who paid attention to me,, my buddy at Grandma & Grandpa Groot’s house when we were all together. She had a calming peace about her – I don’t need to tell you that.
She was kind, forgiving, accepting- a quiet soul in a loud world. We will all miss her but she lives on I. All of you.
Holding you close in my ❤️.
Love to you all
Cousin Karen
