| May God bless and comfort the family of this Fallen Heroine. The loss of one diminishes us all, and though many did not know Sharri personally, we know what she stood for and we feel the loss deeply. Thank you Sharri for your service. Rest in Peace and now enjoy all that awaits you in that special place where Heroes go, and there rejoice in the arms of those gone before. Don, in God's time, this parting is but a blink of an eye....you and Sharri will ride the Heavens together. |
