So sorry to hear about the passing of my friend, Natalie. Like Benita, our relationship goes back to elementary school. Her deep voice and beautiful afro were memorable. She had the best afro at Taft!  Natalie was funny, friendly and engaging. The last time I saw her was at the 30th reunion. RIP old friend! 

Condolences to Mark's family and friends.

We just became aware that Sherri Joyner, lost two of her sisters within two weeks of each other during the month of October. As you can imagine, this has been an emotional roller coaster and a heavy weight on both Sherri and her precious Mom, who was blessed to see Age 100 earlier this year. Please keep the Joyner family in your prayers. They need God's strength, comfort, peace and our love, support and prayers!

Blessings!

Message from Sherri Joyner:

Hello 🖤Dear friends— Thank you for your absolutely kind words and prayers. I mean it with all of my heart. Very many feelings are swirling round and round and up and down so words don’t come by easily. 💔 The mood is I don’t even feel like dancing. I know that feeling will return. 🎶🖤🎶

I found a book I’d suggest to anyone wanting a non-judgmental resource to help with grief. 💔🖤

One bit of advice from me to anyone who responds with “everyone dies” to anyone in mourning is a top-grade asshole needing to learn about basic and general offerings of sympathy. 

I want to end with saying I’m thinking of you, too. Sending you wishes for mental peace in your lives. Happiness, love and fun are important too! 🖤🌹🖤
Have a good day.
