I would often spend a few weeks with my father each summer and so, I came to know Sherri, my half sister. I remember one particular summer, my Dad flew my brother and me to California. My first time in an airplane. What a thrill that was. The whole family with five kids loaded in the car hauling a small camper and drove up through California t...
We are SO sorry to hear this Rachel. She was our devoted employee for a few years and so we got to know her very well. I still remember looking out our office window when the Lilac fire broke out that destroyed so many of the homes in her neighborhood and her saying “That looks very close to my neighborhood. “ and off she goes. I can’t remember if ...
Carolyn Stinson I'm so sorry to hear this. I enjoyed Sherri very much. She was a great musician. What a voice!
In the early morning hours today, our ring camera captured an image of something that appeared faint & faded. It drifted casually up and out of view. I'm going to say it was her soul. Sherri was always a strong personality, smart, and outgoing. She definitely had an influence on my younger years. Mostly good and some maybe a little deviant. Her sou...
Jodi Bond I feel that I lost a part of my soul today – Sherri being my sister – I believe that our souls were intertwined. But I find comfort in knowing that she is now with God, whom she has loved for many years. I have lots of good memories. As children, we dressed up our dog, Kiska, and had tea parties with the dog. We made mud pies (really muddy); and we made fake bear prints to try to alarm Mom. I have memories of being in awe of her musical abilities - vocal, piano, and many other instruments. When I was in middle / high school, I always knew what kind of mood Sherri was in by how she played the piano. I remember the high school choir concerts when her voice significantly and beautifully stood out amongst the entire choir. Throughout her life, she often had a witty viewpoint to provoke deep thought. She was the maid of honor for my wedding. She was always there for me when I needed to laugh and to cry and also so that we could exchange stories and share our love for our own families. I will miss her greatly; but will focus on remembering the best of times for her and with her. Rest in peace dear Sherri
Rachel Uchida You fought a good fight, Mom. I know you are at peace now. I hope you are finally able to get some rest and sing in the afterlife forever. I love you.
