Sheri’s family,
I am very sorry to hear of Sheri’s passing. May peace be with her and you, her family.
Goodbye Sheri.
Sheri and Family,
Today we will light a candle for you to shatter the darkness & bless the times you knew, like a beacon in the night the flame will burn bright and guide you on your way. Today we light a candle for you, you are in our prayers. My dear friend Sheri I will miss all the times of friendship we shared. Getting together and telling our stories about the easter bunny and Santa Claus. And just running around in our grubby sweatshirts, we sure had a lot of laughs. Also the nights in Iowa when we would watch the wild turkey for the guys and come the next morning when things were really hectic, who did we blame??????? Poor Kathy. I will miss you, until we see each other again. PRAYERS and LOVE to all of you.
Mark and Barbra Irrgang
