In 2015 I joined Sherry at Aramark as a plant supervisor. She was definitely a unique coworker, she took me under her wing and literally helped me survive the wolves, I am forever grateful to have met Sherry and spent the time that I did with her.

One of my first memories is on Christmas Day Sherry comes over to my mom´s house with my brother. My mom had a brand new convertible and Sherry, Gale me and my mom go down the street with the top down. We all thought that was great.
