Our dear mom, Sheri Bird, passed away peacefully last night. 

She is with dad. 

What a pair. 

Thank you for all your prayers.

So hard to believe....Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. I don't know how people get through life's trials without the Gospel! Whenever I think of your parents, I see them smiling and now they can smile even bigger because they are together again! Sending our love. The Wintrode Family

Lindsay, you and your family truly are an inspiration to me. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. You are all so wonderful and strong. I know I never knew your mom or dad but from what you have told me and what I have read they are truly inspiring and must be so happy to be together again. I know this must be so hard for you, actually I shouldn't say I know because I don't, but I want you to know that I will pray for you and that I like you know you will be with them again! Love you!

I love this picture too! Wow! I'm so sorry for your loss! I love you guys and our thoughts and prayers are with you. I loved your momma, even though I didn't know your dad, i still feel like I knew him so much! I loved the spirit about your mom. She was always so giving! She was so tender-hearted and patient and was such a good grandmother to Evie and Sienna when Jenn lived with her. I loved spending my lunchtime over at the birds house. It was the best part of my day.
I love you Sheri Bird! May you rest in peace and watch over us all!

She is beautiful and I'm so glad to know she is with her husband now. I never got to know her but I heard her story through Angela Mclaws who is a dear friend and my visiting teacher. Sheri was a topic on conversation a lot and I'm so impressed with her strength am the strength of Lindsey who I heard about, and saw a lot but never met either. From a small distance they touched my heart and my life .

We are so blessed with the gift of Forever Families and the knowledge of the eternal plan. I will be forever grateful that I had the privilege of knowing your parents. What a joyful reunion it was, I am sure, for your Mom and Dad to be together again! Love and hugs to your family!

We have this fun memory of going out to dinner with your mom and dad and talking about eternal marriage.
We also laughed and had such a good time together.
we love them both and know they are watching over you together. Their knowledge have the plan while on the earth has been inspirational. Love to all of you and to them!

One time I was talking to Sheri wondering about a question in my life. Sheri said something that was inspired that I will never forget. I cried because the Spirit told me what she said was from the Lord. I have always been grateful for that experience.
Love all you dear, darling, strong, wonderful Birds!

We are so sorry for your loss.

When we first moved into our house, Sheri was the first (and really only) neighbor to welcome us. It meant the world to us.
We could always count on Sheri and Keith for a friendly wave and smile. And even though we only knew them in a neighborly way, we know the world has lost two very amazing people.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Oh Jen and Lindsay - I want to give you all the biggest hug!! It seems so inadequate leaving a blog post comment. Sending my love and sincere condolences. My mom said the flower planting yesterday was a sweet experience. Wish I could've been there. You have the most valiant beautiful angels watching over you forever!

I had the opportunity of serving in little spokane as a new missionary (Sister Hatch let the other sisters who served there know this morning.)I love your parents--such excellent examples of Christ-like love, devotion & service. I am confident that together they are accomplishing a great work on the other side and that they will often be ministering to their awesome family & loved ones on this side of the veil. May God bless all of you now & in the future.
