Kerry! Though sickle cell tested your body, it never defined your spirit. You fought with courage, endured with grace, and loved with strength that inspired everyone who knew you. Your pain is now over, your battle complete, and your soul has gone on to glory free, whole, and at peace. We will remember your smile, your humor, your resilience, and the light you brought into our lives. Your story did not end in suffering; it ended in victory, rest, and eternal peace. You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be gone from our hearts. πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”

Peace and Blessings!

Kerry, you were a true warrior who beat all the odds. You faced life's challenges with grace, and I never once heard you complain. You often said you were tiredβ€”now there is no more pain, no more transfusions, and no more doctor visits. You are healed, and I am grateful that you are finally at peace.

I'm truly thankful that you were given the time and opportunity to prepare your young men for this moment. Kerry Jr. and Braxton, I pray that God continues to strengthen you both with a peace that surpasses all understanding.

T & T

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
