She is passionate about sharing the hope of Jesus and God’s lavish love. Sherri is married to Mike, and together they cherish their five sons, one daughter, and eight grandchildren. She loves being near water, hiking, reading, laughing often, and reminding herself and others that “the best is yet to come.”
