    I remember Sherri as such a bright light in high school with a beautiful smile. I know she struggled with mental illness. She is at peace now with her parents. Love to all family.

    Only now aware of her passing, I knew Sherry in our 20s as college students (and more) at FSU. I have wonderful memories of her as a beautiful person, kind, compassionate and caring. I know she struggled then and hope she is at peace now. Condolences to her family and close friends who knew her later in life.
