Sheri: Her Life Celebrated by All Women

Midwest Comes Together

The memorial in Chicago was beautiful There was a fire in the fireplace, lots of food and flowers . . . we sang, we shared, we cried, we laughed, we cried , we drummed, we eat, we cried, we hugged . . .

A slide show of some photos of Sheri was playing on the TV in a room all the time we were there. This way we could view them as we wanted. Some of the photos were of a much younger Sheri and some more recent

The forty plus women that attended all felt and knew that Sheri was also there watching us. She will be with us all no matter where we are. When we call in our ancestors on our WWTW we will be calling in Sheri. I know that when I am on the carpet with a participant she will be there with me. I know if I get stuck all I have to do is say "What would Sheri do/say" and she will be right there guiding me.

Thank you to Esther Robertson, Monica Robinson and Carol Kahn for your time and energy to host this memorial. It was exactly what I needed to help move through my grief. I am very glad that I was able to come in from West Virginia.
