I didn't really know Sherry. I only met her on a few occasions when I lived across the street from Yusef and Ruby on Atlanta Avenue. From what I knew...she was a lovely woman who always had a smile on her face and loving words to say.

Having been a witness to the growth of her grandchildren, Elijah and Zola and having been friends with Yusef for over 20 years...I see her Legacy in all of them. In the amazing job that she did raising Yusef and then he raising his own children. I know they were the light in her eyes.

I wish the whole family my deepest condolences. May her memory be a blessing for all who loved her.
