Sherry and I go back to the waffle house days. Daily meetings for coffee and friendship.
We met a lot of wonderful people there, and became lifetime friends. There are so many good things to remember and meeting you girls and watching you grow was one of them. I am so sorry for your loss from the bottom of my heart. I love you both.

Tina & Maria I am so sorry to see this. I have many fond memories of our times together. Over the years I would still run into your Mother occasionally and we would always talk for a few minutes. She came to my Mother’s viewing which meant so much to me. Sending prayers for peace and comfort for you and your families.
