To say I’m a Momma’s boy would be an understatement! My favorite life memories are with my Mom. Sometimes she would take me to school late so we could get Burger King French Toast Stick in the morning. Mom introduced me to the Talking Heads by playing “Burning Down the House” cranked all the way up in the car. I can remember her taking me to Miss Congeniality and Rush Hour 2 in theaters for a Friday night.
She taught me everything I know through her example. She always showed up for people when they needed her most. The first to lend a hand, listening ear or a crying shoulder. But she would ask “How long do need to cry because after that, We have to put on our boots and get to work” 😂
I’ll miss my Mom everyday. I’ll miss how excited she would get when I’d tell her about my new film job. Even if I was just a PA on some set for a day. She would tell me how proud she was of me. I’ll miss talking about the movies we saw, TV shows we watch and books we read. I’ll miss calling her to complain. If I was really down and being negative she would tell me “Well Sam, life’s a bitch what are you gonna do?” She never missed any important moment in my life. She was always there cheering me on.
Mom, life is bitch right now and I could sure use a hug. I miss you and I love you. I know I’ll see you again. I just wish that was tomorrow. I love you Sheri Berry
It’s been one year since you passed, Mom. Last week we went to Huntington Beach, went to your favorite restaurant and got to spread your ashes at the beach you grew up going to. I could feel you there with us.
It is an experience I will treasure forever. There are so many things I want to say right now but I don’t know how. It’s also hard to write this without crying or wanting to crawl in bed and stay there.
What I will share is a few weeks ago I was driving to work and Float On by Modest Mouse came on. When the song said “Bad news comes, don’t you worry, even when it lands.” I started to cry. All I could think about was you driving me and my friends to the skate park in your white Ford Focus. It felt like I was back in your car and you were telling me, “everything will work out”.
Before you started treatment for breast cancer, I was in AZ visiting you and the day before I left you looked me in the eyes and said, “I want you to know that if anything happens to me in all of this, know that I love you and I’m so proud of you”
I love you Mom and I’m proud to be your son.
Sheri passed away yesterday, surrounded by her family, from breast cancer.
We will miss our wife, mother, grandma, sister, friend, partner in crime, fun-loving, music loving person. She was the best! She influenced many and will continue to do that through everyone that knew her.
She loved her husband, kids, family, her students, neighbors and everyone she came in contact with. She was an example of strength, perseverance, happiness, light and love.
If you have a favorite memory and pictures with her… please email them to

If you know Sheri, she liked a good party 🎉 so we can’t wait to celebrate the wonderful life she lived!

“You’re doing it Peter!“ Last year I finally made the jump into the world of freelance film. It’s been a blast! Here’s to many more years in the bizzz!
