I miss you beautiful friend. Thinking of you daily. We have comfort knowing your with your beloved Morgan and hanging out with Linda now. All our love to Tom, Stephanie, Meagan, Christopher and Sunny – now and forever! Until we meet again. Love always, Chris & Kelley Krahn!
Miss seeing and talking to you everyday. Your were always my first stop on the way to my office. I knew you were strong but never realized how truly strong you really were because you were always there for your family, friends and co-workers but never burdened others with your troubles. Your funny signs all along your wall show how great your sense of humor was. I will be thinking of you at peace on a nice warm sunny beach with Linda & Morgan.
Miss you everyday Sherri. Still cannot believe you are gone. Who’s gonna be the sassy one at the office now? It will never be the same! Bet you and Linda are at her dining room table catching up or lounging at the pool. Sending love and prayers to Tom, Stephanie, Meagan and Christopher. Till we meet again rest in peace.
The poem in the photo was written for Sherri in 1990. If you can’t read it here are the words.
To You My Love
Throughout our lives, together we’ve become
You have been my root, nourishing my every part
Up and out into the world my branches reach
Beyond injury they grow, and from the winds breath sing
I love you with all my heart.
Yet as a seed is without being planted
A soul -without being nourished
So, my heart is without your love.
But, from our love our children will grow
A Child’s love, so fulfilling – to both our souls.
Now that I look upon the ground
How, you’ve pushed me up -to be so tall
That heaven seems so very near
From that seed that I was
So very small.
And as the sun shines from above
With my branches reaching to embrace
I look upon the ground again
With a whisper of wind – I speak
You are not the only one for me.
Into a tall and sturdy tree – I’ve grown,
From that tiny wind blown seed.
With the root that nourishes me – we grow
Into the world, against that wind
our branches go – unbesieged.
But now, another gives us a call
As all our branches lift to touch
And from the Son I feel His warmth
As we are one, it’s what we seek
Heaven is now within our reach.
Tom
