Sherry Gill Simpson

Sherry was a diligent worker in many environments: Her family and extended family, Mt. Hermon Baptist Church, Kentwood High School, wherever she was! She was loved and appreciated for all she did for others! Sherry was hospitalized in New Orleans at the time of her death

You may remember me telling you about caring for others each day. Sherry lived a life of constantly caring for others! Her obituary is not available at this time.

Remember, it is all about God’s purpose! See the first verse included in today’s post. Until tomorrow . . . .
