Sherrell I still don't have the adequate words. The memories just keep flooding in from Easter Sundays at New Hope to crossing those burning sands. You are greatly missed. I love you ❤️
I can't express in words how saddened I am. Sherrell was so much more than a mentor and friend. I am definitely gonna miss our 1-2 hour phone conversations, her fussing at me about "her angel", and so many memories we made and had planned to make in the future. But I know God had bigger and better plans that we cannot compete with. I love and miss you girl!❤️ Kim
