Sherry-Berry Bookert

Donation protected
My name is Wendy Mitchell and I’m fundraising today because we’re running out of time. My daughter Sherry Bookert passed away on the 23rd and her body still lies in the morgue. As you can imagine no one is ever prepared, especially as young as she was. It’s hard to receive a phone call from an officer telling you that your daughter has passed away ,and it’s probably the hardest thing in my life I’ve ever had to endure. My daughter had many problems in this life , problems that I couldn’t help her with even though I tried. Illness and addictions plagued her. She spent the last 5 years of her life living in the streets, and no matter how many times I took her in, It always ended badly. Sherry was probably one of the smartest people I ever knew, that was evident to anyone who ever visited with her, she was a beautiful girl. But Sherry carried a profound sense of depression. My wish is to give her some dignity in her death and a chance for her 5 children to say goodbye. So I’m asking anyone that can help it would mean the world to me and my grandchildren. We have about 6 days to pay a funeral home to have them retrieve her. If we can’t they will take over. With no way to say goodbye. So it is pretty urgent.
