On December 18, 2021, my daughter Sherell woke up to her son Jahmani, just like any other day not knowing this would be her last time seeing her only son and as a mother, I would have never fathomed that would also be the last time I would spend precious time with my baby. Sherell and I were extremely close and our mother-daughter bond will remain unbreakable. December 20, 2021, was a dreadful and painful day for us all, it was the day we found her. I never could have imagined losing my baby girl. As a teenager with the support of family and friends, Jahmani will now have to navigate this world without Sherell. I am mourning as a mother and I am also mourning as a grandmother. With God’s strength, my responsibility to my only daughter and my grandson is to do whatever I can to guide and support him through this senseless tragedy. Jahmani will require a great deal of love and support during this time moving forward. Financially Sherell was the sole provider for her family and with her tragic passing, I understand the reality of what difficulties will come along with financially supporting my grandson and the associated cost as we plan to lay Sherell to rest.
During our time of mourning, we are grateful for your support, love, and prayers. May God continue to bless you and your loved ones.
