Sherie Thomas

On the pulse of a beautiful morning, God gave Mary E. Smith and Glover Rawls a beautiful and perfect angel “Our Sherie.” God created and fashioned her, made her eyes like windows, her lips like a prayer, then he colored her with love, joy, patience, kindness, gentleness, self-control, generosity, peace, faithfulness, all of the fruits of The Spirit. Our beautiful Sherie added much beauty to God’s world and to her family. She was a rainbow in many clouds and a gift of love to her family. On her home going, if the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads, just let her continue and leave a trail, God has already created the path. God’s grace is sufficient and “it will be alright.
