many lives in her time on earth. She was blessed with the voice of an angel and frequently sang at her church, weddings, and other events when requested. Sheri never met a stranger.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#202124">Please keep Sheri’s spouse RJ and family in your prayers.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
