My family use to throw giant block parties back in the late 60's (at 2nd &A) and always lighting up the festivities with her fun loving spirit was Sherri. She had a big smile and heart to match. Now that her struggles have ended she is in a peaceful place. Our thoughts and prayers go to the Martin and Atherley family.
