    It is so inspiring to know that someone as old as 83 can still act as a billboard for sales in the market place. In addition, she really knows how to celebrate – I’ve have had that Chili’s Chocolate Molten Lava cake and it is fabulous!

    Sherry does a great job of laying a pathway for your venture
    into an entrepreneurial lifestyle .

    The video shows that people that want to succeed, can always
    find a way, regardless of age,sex,color,etc.

    Passion for life and pursuits of ‘creating’, is devoid of any limitations, other than self imposed ones.
