Rosie, I am so sorry you have lost your precious daughter. You and her family are in my prayers. She was a beautiful lady.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I enjoyed re-connecting with Sherri this past year through facebook. She was just the sweetest person. I think my fondest memories of Sherri was when I used to take her to the dentist and afterwards we HAD to go to Burger King. I think she always wondered if I was going to remember that we were supposed to go there before we went home because she wouldn't say anything and then when we pulled in to Burger King, she had a smile on her face. She seemed so easy to please. Peace be with you.
Thankyou for being a great teacher,I will miss you.But now you dont hurt and now you can teach the angels in heaven.

Stacy,kelsey and Blake..I'm so, so, sorry about your huge loss. Meeting Blake and Sherri on the COPS bus traveling to the ceremony for Scott in DC was a time I will never forget. I am truely at a loss for words. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
National Police Week-Washington DCI met Sherri and Blake during the bus ride from the COPS hotel to our Nation's Capitol in DC. What a caring, loving mom Sherri was. I still remember talking to Blake about baseball while we sat at the back of the bus. He was so polite. I remember Sherri telling me, "he's a bit different at home". I know how this is as I'm a mom of 3 boys myself. Blake and Kelsey, your mom is looking down on your right now, watching over you. She always will. Stacy, you have been given a tough road to go down…God only gives us what we can handle. It may be hard to believe this right now but although we have never met, you must be an amazing man to have been married to sherri. You all will be in my thoughts/prayers….
