On Mother’s Day, our beloved Sheryl experienced a devastating medical emergency—she went into anaphylactic shock and stopped breathing. She flatlined twice before reaching the hospital but was miraculously resuscitated. Unfortunately, the lack of oxygen to her brain caused significant brain damage. After careful consideration and for the sake of her quality of life, the decision was made to remove her from life support. Sheryl is now in hospice care, where she is being kept comfortable during her final days.

Sheryl has been like a second mom to me for the past 25 years. She took me in with open arms and treated me like one of her own. Her love, guidance, and warmth have been a constant presence in my life, and it’s heartbreaking to see someone so full of love in this condition.

Her daughter, Brooke—my best friend—is facing this unimaginable loss while also navigating the responsibilities that come along with it.

If you are able to help, any amount would mean the world to this family. Thank you for your generosity, love, and prayers.
