Sherri L. Barsness

David, It is with great sadness that I learn of Sherri's passing. She was such a good friend to me during her tenure at DRS. I will remember her for her bubbly self and her positive outlook on life no matter what was thrown at her. She was a true warrior. Know that you are not alone and take comfort in knowing that Sherri is no longer suffering. May God be with you during this difficult time. Marcia Layton

Dear Dave and Kyle, So very sorry for your profound loss. Sherri was such an upbeat soul! Even after she got the diagnosis, she was her same smiling, laughing self. (And her great laugh! Always brought a smile to my face.) She was not one just to leave the office at the end of the day. She made a habit of popping her head into my office, if only to say "Bye! Have a nice evening." We'd usually end up jawing for a minute or two about whatever was the goofy story of the day. She was fiercely proud of both of you and spoke lovingly about your ups and downs. "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Godspeed. Joe

I offer my deepest condolences to the Barsness family on the passing of your loved one. Throughout this pain, Jehovah God understands your loss. Isaiah 25:8 says that “He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces”. Until those promises are fulfilled, I pray that this scripture brings a measure of comfort to the family during their time of bereavement.
