We recall the endless hours of fun and laughter that we shared together on the bus rides to Point Fortin.
In the years that followed we kept in touch with love and good times, we stayed friends till the end.
We pray for courage and peace for her entire family at this very difficult time.
WendyAli: Grew up with Sherry from a tender age of 6 years to present. Attended the same schools.We lived next to each other and kept her friendship until her passing. Always at her house playing together. I had the pleasure of visiting her in Canada in 1984. She was my childhood friend forever. Will miss you and our conversations. We played Scabble countless times. Still have that little red note book you passed on to me that Radica gave you..❤️❤️❤️
May Sherry's memory continue to inspire and uplift us as we navigate a world without her in it.
Together we honor her legacy and cherish all the moments we shared with her.
Sleep well dear friend, until we see each other again.

I have such fond memories of spending time with her as a little girl, baking together in her warm kitchen in Aurora. She was incredibly patient and kind, nurturing my love for baking with every recipe and every moment we shared. Her gingerbread was legendary—perfectly spiced, perfectly baked, and full of love.
Aunty Sherry had a special way of making everyone feel unique. She gave each of us a nickname—myself included—and I’ll always remember the sweet affection with which she called a few of us "Cookie." Her laughter was infectious, her smile radiant, and her love for her family, unshakeable.
You are deeply loved, Aunty Sherry, and your memory will live in my heart forever. I will miss you more than words can express, but I take comfort in knowing that you are now at peace, free from pain and sickness. Rest in peace, Aunty, with the love and joy you so freely gave to all of us.

Sherry & us knew each other from Primary school days at KPA and was in touch though she migrated.
Our school days were fun going by there home during lunchtime to listen to records and dance after eating lunch
We had some truly memorable moments then we all went to different Secondary schools but kept in touch.
She then migrated got married but we stayed in touch thanks to technology.
We are so sorry but she fought a brave battle but the Lord was ready for her 🙏 no more pains and sufferings
She is with the love of her life her husband whom she missed dearly.
May the Lord bless you all to cope with her loss.

For everything there is a season,
A time for every activity under heaven.
Ecc 3:14
And I know that whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God's purpose is that
People should fear him . What has happened now has happened before.
So many great memories...
What stuck out right now is all of us Huddled watching Waltz Disney every Sunday.
RIP Shery
