My Aunt Sheri! What a beautiful soul you were. I remember you living with us when I was a child. I remember all the times we drove to Detroit to visit you! And I will always cherish this last visit with you. Taking you to your favorite restaurant for dinner and playing cards in the hotel room! Dance with the Angels. Tell Dad we said Hi. We love you Aunt Sheri. ❤️💕❤️
My momma #2, nothing in this World could have prepared any of us for your passing 💔 I can’t even remember when a time when I didn’t know you. You were there to celebrate every important moment of my life and you held our hand through every tragedy that came our way. My mind understand why you had to go but my heart still hurts and tears still fall. Please hold my baby boy tight and tell him all about his crazy family and stay close to mom bc you know her, tough on the outside and just soft and so loving in the inside. Fly high & free. I love you, always and forever ❤️ 🕊

Sherry is one of my longtime friends we worked together at Adela‘s. We spent time outside of work and I remember my first time ever eaten chicken and dumplings. It was from her at her house. It was amazing. She was an amazing person to the whole community may she rest in peace. .my friend
Aunt Sheri I am so glad I got to see you a couple of years ago. We had so much fun looking at pictures and playing UNO. I love you. Tell Dad Hi.
Sheri and i met through our Mutual friend Sylvia, that was 25 yrs ago. Over the years we were known as the Golden Girls. We’d talk about us 3 retiring in a Nursing Home and all the adventures we we’re going to have.😪 i will forever remember the Fun times with Sheri, untill we meet again my dear friend a.k.a. Blanche
Sher Bear, I am sad to hear of your passing… You were one of my closest friends for years, everytime I hear Neon Moon I think of us singing it as loud as we could and dancing to our own beat.
We had so many good times, even when we worked for Aramark and you were my boss, you were the best boss. We always stayed in contact no matter how much time had gone by, we would always pick bck up where we left off… There are memories I’ll cherish forever, till we meet again my friend. Love you Mucho, Rest Eternally In Heaven.
It’s been some time since I have seen you but I never forgot you. I always thought of you over the years. I remember trips my family made to Detroit to visit. I love you Aunt Sheri. Rest in peace. Xoxo
