So sad to hear about Sherry. I have kept up with how she was doing through a friend who was her neighbor for a few years. My sincere condolences to Tina and her family.

Sherry was a wonderful lady, cousin, and loved with all her being. She was the best mother for Tina because Tina was her world. RIP Sherry
