Kerri always brought light to any room she walked into. So many childhood memories we shared. Her smile and laughter will be forever missed. Rest well my friend🙏
Kerri, I will always remember your love, laughter, sense of humor and generosity towards myself and our family. You were in our lives for several years and will never be forgotten. Love and prayers to your family left behind. Join, now, your mom who is waiting with open arms. All my love, “Ev”
I have so many memories of Kerri from my childhood and will forever hold onto them. Sending love to the Gilfillan family.
Oh my, this breaks my heart. Kerri put up with a lot in having me as a roommate in college. We had so much fun and I still quote the things she said and the movies we watched. I was so proud of her when she earned her PhD. The world lost a bright light way too soon. I love you Kerri with a K! Praying for you, Katie, and sending love to the Gilfillans
I will forever cherish all of the memories I have with Kerri. She truly was a wonderful friend and I will miss her dearly. Thank you for all the laughs and for all the support you gave through the years. Rest well, Kerri.
Love forever and always, Nat
I’m so sad to see this-Kerri and I had a lot of fun college memories and I was thrilled for her when she obtained her PhD. I can remember her ordering a small cheese pizza with light sauce and the ways she would make me laugh all night long. I always hoped I would run into her and before I would identify myself, I would just rattle off movie quotes until she recognized me. My heart goes out to you, Katie, and all the Gilfillans. Kerri is gone way too soon.
Will always miss you , great memories together forever in our family love from me rest in peace Kerri ❤️
My deepest condolences to Mike, Katie and all of Kerri’s friends and family. Kerri’s mom was my dear friend and coworker and I had the pleasure of getting to know Kerri through Linda. What a funny, smart, brilliant girl she was. I am so sad to hear of her passing but take comfort that she is with her adoring mother. You all have two angels watching over you. God bless you all as you grieve this tremendous loss. You are always in my prayers.
Her loss is deeply felt by everyone whose lives she touched. My sincere condolences to Katie & family. Are there any charities that are close to Kerri’s heart?
