We will miss Sherrie's laughter and story-telling. We are sorry that COVID prohibits us from attending the wake in person but are glad we can participate by watching the service online.

When Bob and I were kids I spent a lot of time at his house. I remember Sherrie as a kind and smart mom who always listened to Bob's elaborate plans and schemes with an inquisitive smile. She always listened to us kids and never talked down to us, and I always felt like she was this adult in our lives who could bring the resources we lacked to enable our ideas (those resources being a car, money, common sense - to name a few). Bob has always had a better memory for nostalgia than me, but I do remember her as the camera operator for several scenes in Bob's first big production, To The Moon. which I remember shooting late into the evening one night to meet a school deadline (was it 5th grade?). She always played along with good humor and patience. As I peer back into those childhood memories, she seemed like the glue that held a lot of stuff together, and I appreciate now how much she loved and adored her boys.
