Not sure what to say?

I just learned of Cheryl´s death in 2011. I worked with her in Corpus Christi with MHMR. We laughed, joked, teased each that I was Mexican n she was black always with love. I took off work to attend her civil ceremony at the court house. Such a splendid person I loved Cheryl n today I cried as I bid her farewell. I will one day God willing go to Austin n visit her grave Irma Barrientes Sherman
