I am very sorry to hear of Kerrie’s passing. I worked and volunteered beside her at Alki elementary many times. Her boys are two of the most polite, sweetest and kindest boys I have ever met. I also know their father has alot to do with that. My prayers are with her boys and John tonight.

She is my age and also with 2 sons! Hits close to home. She sounds like a wonderful mother, and I pray that those boys are wrapped warmly in thousands of angels’ wings and feel surrounded by love and support. Hopefully they know their mother is still with them and would have chosen *more than anything* to have reamined in life if she could.
