Sherin was one of the sweetest people I've ever met in ministry. She and Jamall were an incredible ministry team, and I know they are delighted to be worshipping Jesus together once again. Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Sincerest sympathies go out to the family of Sherin! I don't know that I have ever met a more precious and Godly woman than her in my life time! She would do anything for anybody and always with a smile! She became such a great friend of our's through MEF and we have worked very closely with her especially the past year. I will miss her greatly! I am sure her and Jamall are rejoicing in Heaven now. God Bless!
