One year ago today, at 10:16am….I had the wonderful opportunity to usher one the greatest people I will ever know and love into the waiting arms of Jesus. Sheri embodied the strength of Christ in her life, and let His light shine brightly through her onto others. It was a true and utter joy and honor to have called her my bride for 19 years…and the caring mother to Alyssa and Bryce. She is missed by us all. We miss her beautiful smile that lit up any room….her kind and caring demeanor…..and the way she bounced when she walked. We miss her kind words of encouragement….even when things looked bad for her. We miss her gentle spirit that seemed to keep us all calm in the midst of life’s hectic moments. I miss my best friend…and the kids miss their mommy. Oh…and the kids really miss her cooking (sorry guys, dad is doing his best!).
Today is a road marker on this new journey in life….one without Sheri here to share it with us…..but one that has her embedded deep into who we are moving up this new trail. Sheri lives inside our hearts….we are forever changed for having known and loved her. For that very fact, I thank God every day. And through what Jesus did for us all, we will see her again.
Please take time today to hug your spouse, your friends, your kids….all those that mean something special to you….and tell them that you love them. That would make Sheri happy.
Thanks you all again, for all your prayers for us over these last several years….and especially this past year.
Take time to look up Psalms 118:24…..it was her favorite verse.

And remember….
Keep Looking Up!
