ForeverMissed

This memorial website was created in the memory of our Daughter/Sister/Auntie, Kerri. 
We will remember and miss her forever.  

She was a beautiful soul who just wanted to be loved
gently and totally.
She radiated that same love she longed for
to everyone she knew and met.

Feel free to share your memories as they come to you. 

Please remember to ...
"Keep it simple. Love those around you.
Help everyone you can. Just for Today."

God Bless!  Love, Kelly (aka MA), Bruce, Abbe and Lilly

I spent some time in Dolly Copp campground yesterday evening with Lilly just hanging around and having dinner. She is so much like you Kerri. She has your "busy" spirit and love for nature and people. I like to believe God gave her to us to remind us of you. You two would have had so much fun together. And someday you will. I Love You Much! Muwaah! MA

I remember Kerri saying "I gotta run over to the Cope house, Ma. I just wanna drop off some stuff for the girls." Almost every time I visited I took her there. So yesterday I took her clothes over and "dropped them off for the girls". I am sure they will come to good use. If anyone out there still needs to do something, please remember Project Cope and the good work they do. for Kerri. :-)

Kerri, I try each day to go through some of your things and decide what to keep. Today I came across this prayer in a journal from March of 2011.
"Lord, help me make the most of my day. If I reach my limits... widen them, If I reach my highs, raise them, And if I reach my lows, just take my hand." AMEN
I'll be keeping this one. I Love You Much!! Muwaah!

Kerri, it's so difficult to put together words to describe your loss. I don't know much, but I do know you're in a better place with God. Thank you for all the memories. Our morning coffee, reading the Just for Today, & chit chatting over plans for that day or whatever else was on our minds. You'll always mean the world to me & hold a special place in my heart. Rest in peace now Lil Sista.

I love you so so much! And I have been coming to this page daily to share some special memories but it's still to raw for me. Seeing your beautiful face in all these pictures just brings me to tears. I wish I could be near Ma & Abbe right now embracing them. It was such a honor to be your Godmother and Big Cousin. You made me so proud! I hope Brandon is reading you Mr Tickle right now.

It broke my heart to hear of your passing, hurts so bad to know that I am never going to talk to you again. :'( I still have the inspirational meditation book you gave me and Im still using the St. Francis prayer card as a book mark. I have it right here, on my night stand. You told me "the pain subsides Ana" you were right! Wish I could have help you as much as you helped me. RIP Kerri <3

Kerri what can I say there is so much that has been left unsaid between us. Just know that I love you and always did. I cant help but think of so many memories we share. We were so close, together day and night for so long. My fondest memories are of the summer of 09. We were helping each get through some hard times in many positive ways just enjoying life......

We have so many memories together. So many days spent laughing. You were so kind. You had an energy about you that cheered everyone up. I wish we could hve been more involved in each others lives these last few years. Maybe things would be different. I wish you could have met Tessa. I promise to tell her about my beautiful, kind, sporadic, charming, hyper, motivating friend Kerri. RIP bbg.

My beautiful friend Kerri, we have been friends ever since we were like 6 years old and met at the Brown School. I think we were in the same class all 5 years there too. Nobody could seperate us back then. I have only seen you a few times in the past couple of years. One that I remember was at the Salem Willows. We were both psyched to see each other and brought back good old memories

Grieve not, nor speak of me with tears,
But laugh and talk of me as though I were here.
Mourn not that too few were the years,
For there were many filled of happiness and cheer.

I will always remember Kerri as a free and beautiful spirit with an inner light that couldn't be matched. She helped me through some major struggles and loved me no matter what. I am a better person to have known her and grateful I was part of her life. I will miss you always Kerri.

You are remembered as a free spirit who questioned why things happen as they do. By doing this you spoke as an idea of what freedom was/is like and pushed the boundaries of thought..Your spirit lives in the life of those who identify. You are physically removed from among us to stop the pain that you were living. In your darkest day to your darkest hour, the love remained...WORD

Kerri-
There is so much I wish I could tell you, if I could I would tell you that I think you are amazing, and generous, and caring, and it's not fair that you had to go so soon. You always lit up any room you entered. There is and will never be anyone like you, with your strength and energy. I hope now you can see how awesome you are!

Kerri, My beautiful sister and soul mate I will never ever ever, forget your laugh, your smile, your spirit, or your energy. You were truly the best friend I have ever had in my life.

I know you're in paradise with our heavenly father, I will see you there. luv u

I missed you all day, I don't think that will ever go away. As I celebrated my daughter's birthday I remember that you are the reason I am a mother today. I could only hope my daughter is as true of a friend and as loving as a daughter and as beautiful of a person as you were. Thank you for leading me to this life. May you be eternally blessed in your afterlife.

Kerri-berry, Today, as I sat at Friendlys with your Ma, Abbe, Bruce, Lilly, I saw, again, your spirit within this beautiful little baby girl who is your niece. Like you, she loves everyone and converses with anyone who crosses her path, she is very animated and has a wild imagination, a huge smile and love for everyone. Just like her Auntie Kerri. R.I.P.

Kerri, I love you so much. You will always be in my heart and memories. Even though I moved when we were only 13, I have never met anyone else like you. We were inseparable growing up, and I admire you for the woman you became. You were so independent, free-spirited, so sweet and kind, and never met a stranger. Even after I moved, we could still talk about anything.

Kerri, thank you for being an honest and true friend to me. You never judged me and encouraged me to love and accept myself no matter what other people thought of me. I looked up to you while you guided me for almost two years in the fellowship we shared together. I will miss your smile and laugh. You meant so much to me and I love you my friend - Love, Maura

My beautiful Kerri-berry. I am so happy that your struggle and your pain is over. You deserve to be at peace, with your Dad, your grandparents, your cousin Brandon, all those who have gone before you and whom you have loved, and, most especially, with The Father, our Lord and Saviour. You will always be with us in spirit and in our hearts. Love you.

My thoughts today, Kerri-berry, keep reverberating back to those early days of camping at Jigger Johnson. You on your bycicle, laughing, racing around the paths and roads of the campground. There were no strangers in that campground. You visited everyone and left each in laughter and sunshine. That is what you did..Kerri. You spread laughter, love and sunshine. You still do!
March 23, 2013
March 23, 2013
To my beautiful friend, you taught me so much. When we were younger, your realness-heart on your sleeve and passionate personality, your loyalty and of course infectious laughter, drew me to want to be a part of your life and you a part of mine. I had no idea that as we grew up you would change my life forever. Thank you for the memories, your friendship, and your love. Loveyamama.

Kerri, I'm at a loss for words, There is no way to describe the pain in losing a beautiful person that you were. You were my first sponsor, you were the vital piece of my recovery. You showed my how to live clean, you loved me when I could not yet love myself. Without you I never would have what I have today. I'm forever indebted to you. R.I.P love u

Wow Kerri I was extremely saddened to hear of your passing. I have known you for such a long time since our days working at Bickfords in Saugus and then the early days at MBT...you ALWAYS had such nice things to say about me and Dana's relationship and I will never forget that. You were taken from this world way too soon and the world has truly lost a beautiful soul. May you rest eternally.

March 23, 2013
Kerri, I'm so sad that we didn't get to have more of you around the halls. I know that once your over on the other side you are relieved of all your earlthy burdens. You were a sweet spirit and deserved way more than you ever gave yourself. We will see you again! :) Love
March 23, 2013
March 23, 2013
So sad, she left us way to soon. Such a sweet, kind young woman. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and close friends. Kerri will be missed by all who knew her.

Kerri, You were one of my first friends, & my next door neighbor when I 1st moved to Lynn. You were full of zest, determination, and had the kindest heart of all. Spiritual conversations with you were always so uplifting and motivating! I'll hold every memory of you alive in honor forever. I'm blessed to have known you for the time I did. LoveU, & see you in Heaven one day. xoxo

Kerri  I only hope that you know how much your Mom, Sister, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and friends love you. I know you are with God in the heavens and will always be at peace and in great joy forever. We will miss you and remember all the good things you brought to those who knew you. You will make an awesome Angel.  Love, Aunt Frani

Kerri, my beautiful baby girl, you stole my heart before you were born and I could not have been happier. You were MY salvation when I needed it most. You gave me love and laughter and friendship. I only pray that you knew this and that I did the same for you. I will forever be watching the sky for signs of you and your blue eyes and beautiful smile. MISS YOU! LOVE YOU MUCH! MUWAAH! MA

Uncle Buck n Kerri

July 26, 2016

Uncle Buck was a huge part of your life from Day ONE! Whether it was giving you a tour of the flowers at Auntie Nancy's house as a toddler, making PB&J at Jigger Johnson, or swimming and having fun at Lake Chocorua... he was there to love you and show you what a good Dad should be. He is with you now and both of you are free from the pain of this life. I know he will be keeping you laughing with his silly stories and conversations. You take care of each other until I get there! This loss is a hard one for me, cause Uncle Buck was always there for me too. It comes near to the pain of losing you, but I am still breathing and living for both of you. I'll catch you both later! XOXO Muwaah! MA (aka Uncle Buck's birthday present)

It's almost Christmas Eve Kerr. I will be missing having you here with me Abbe and Lil. I was so looking forward to the 4 of us attending the candle light service together. But, I will be ok. I am busy with work and babysitting and meetings so the grief is scattered. I still think of you every minute and some minutes are harder than others. But, I have come to a point where I can remember and smile (still sometimes through tears). I gave the Blue Christmas Service last night at church and though there were only a few of us it helps me get through the pain. Every Christmas story about Jesus and His life reminds me of you. You were such an Angel here on Earth and you never realized it! There are so many of your ways that were exactly as Jesus instructed us to be to eachother. So many people have found a better way because you were in their lives. I find comfort to know you found Jesus before you left this world. So, I will continue baking and listening to all the old Christmas music we always played at this time and finding some Peace in knowing you are truly Home. While I will go on with my life, I will also count the days until I am Home with you.
Merry Christmas Kerri. I Love You Much and Miss You More!! XOXO Muwaah!! MA
