Sherri, Bobby and I are heartbroken. You were always so kind to us when we came to your shop. Now you will keep all the angels well groomed. We will miss you, sweet Sher.

I’ll never forget the Halloween party at your house. Sara and I got some things ready and it was such a fun night. Or when we were getting ready to head to Six flags in Georgia with the band group, you cut my hair for me because I hated it and messed it up. I absolutely loved it. Such a wonderful, beautiful soul. ❤️🩹 Keeping your whole family in my prayers!

My BFFE and LYLAS – Always happy, always fun! I hope she’s singing “Like a Virgin” at the top of her lungs, riding her 10-speed with not a care in the world! I walk by her old house often and think of her fondly and all the fun we had together. A light lost to us, an angel gained by the Heavens. So thankful we were able to visit one last time. Much love.

Your mom was such a beautiful person and such a huge part of my childhood, a best friend and a sister. She was an amazing part of our circle and will be dearly missed.

Sherri was always so sweet to me. We haven’t talked in a while but she always asked a close friend how I was. I’m praying for the family. Sherri you were always wearing a smile and making everyone laugh. I will miss you as well as so many others! I’ll never forget the Halloween parties you hosted and will never forget the one I got to attend. Rest Easy ❤️

Sara, I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. It was only a few weeks ago I saw and talked with her in town. She was a fun loving nice person and will be greatly missed.

Sherri was a light to all who knew her & brought joy to our lives. Always smiling, always caring about you and asking about your family. She was truly an amazing woman & she loved her cats & her kids very much. No one will ever replace Sherri. I’m so sorry for everyone’s loss. When I saw the post I couldn’t believe it and I cried. I pray God comfort your hearts.

ACTS 24:15
“And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”
I hope that this beautiful promise from God to resurrect right here on earth our loved ones who have been died fills your hearts with comfort and peace, soon we will hug them again.
