Sherifat, affectionately known as "Ms. Sheri", was a hardworking, loving, generous and determined woman. She was a wonderful wife, mother, friend and devoted Christian. She had a huge heart and a gift of treating and accepting people as her own family. She taught many of us the true meaning of unconditional love and had a way of making everyone feel special.
She was an inspiration and truly one of a kind. She will deeply be missed by all of us and the world has forever been changed the day it lost one of its brightest shining stars.
