Though I had not seen Sherry in over 20 years, I still vividly remember time spent in her home during my childhood. Sherry was always warm, and inviting to the gaggle of girls that Carrie would bring over. Her warm and loving spirit lives on through her children. Much love!

I worked with Sherri over the past 20 something years and have always admired her! Not only did she keep things to run smoothly in the office but she planned some of the best parties!! I'm sorry you had to constantly call me asking where my timesheet was Sherry :-). I will miss your smiling face and sassy sense of humor!! Rest In Peace my friend...

I miss you so much, Mama. I think about you every day. Any time something happens in my life, you're the first person I want to call. You were my biggest cheerleader. You knew me better than I knew myself & always knew just what to say. I so wish I could talk to you right now & give you a huge hug. I love you with my whole heart, Mommy. I'm so grateful you were mine. Always, Carrie
