What a gem !!!
I knew Sherry as a slightly younger girl than she at Lindbergh. I always thought she was she was so cool ! She was always smiling and genuinely friendly, dressed on trend but classy, just practically perfect!! And she always had time for me.

I had the privilege of being her colleague at both East Buchanan and Central. The students loved her and she loved them. Always a hoot in the teacher’s lounges as she always found a way to laugh. Her favorite subject to discuss were her kids. Bye Sherry. Gone way too soon.
