There is something about a
There is something about a person who meets any comment or request with an enthusiastic smile. There is something about a person who sees the best in others and who gives by the nature of who they are. I was honored to work with Sherri who was introduced to me by her sister, Patti, and quite the powerful duo they made, each in their own way. It’s hard to make sense out of all Sherri’s energy and loving ways being stilled, at least on this planet. I like to think she’s still looking in on those she loved and that she's setting up all the fun stuff for us to do together when we join her. She will definately make it fun...
Remembered and loved
Sherri was a beautiful woman who I have not known very long, however I knew her well enough to feel the love she had put off around her. Knowing she is at peace with herself, she is and will be remembered by family and friends and not forgotten.
Sherri was the most wonderful
Sherri was the most wonderful person that I ever had the privilege of knowing. She truly was a one of a kind who loved dealing with children and loved to teach them. I miss her gorgeous and contagious smile and she would always smile no matter what. She had a dream of opening her own teaching center that she was never able to do. She was taken from us way to early because she had so much to offer the children of Pennsylvania. Now I only have the memories of her and can only hope that when my time comes that we will meet again. Rest In Peace angel and know that I will always love you
