Some people come into your life at just the right moment and quietly change everything. She was that person for me.
As a public school kid trying to find my place in a private school world, I often felt like I didn’t quite belong. But she never made me feel that way. She met me with kindness, patience, and a kind of grace I didn’t even know I needed at the time. When others didn’t understand me, she did.
She didn’t just help me adjust — she helped me grow. She showed me that life isn’t about what you have, but about the memories you make and the places you go. She opened my eyes to experiences, to confidence, and to a sense of belonging I’ll always carry with me.
I may not have realized it then, but I see it so clearly now — she helped shape who I am today.
Forever grateful for her heart, her guidance, and the way she made me feel seen when I needed it most. She will always hold a special place in my life and my story. 💛
She was my sister and my friend. I miss her very much.
Sherry taught my son 28 years ago and still remained a friend to me. She loved on these little ones so well. She truly had a gift and love for kids. Well done thy good and faithful servant. You will be missed. Love and prayers to her family and friends and all the lives she touched. 🙏❤️🙏
