Feeling so sad right now. Sherrian was one of my most true friends in the world. She taught me how to be a State Probation officer back in the early nineties and our friendship had lasted over 30 years. She was so giving, loving and brutally honest. I'm going to miss you so much Queen. The world is a little dimmer because your glow is not here. Your work here is done and God has a great soldier in his army. Love you and Reggie to the moon and back. Until we see each other on the other side of the veil...
