Jackie and Joe, I would like to send condolences to you and your family. We were neighbors for many years. I pray that the Lord comfort your heart and continue to bless y’all through your loss.
Ms. Baker was a wonderful coworker. She was special to me because she was willing to help me decorate my classroom which she added her own specially designed art for my students to learn and enjoy through the school year.

Sheryl as I call her was a very wonderful friend and sister in Christ. I can’t even say how badly I’ll miss her in my life. I am grateful however for the time that we shared and the time God loaned her to all of us. My sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers will continue to be with her daughter, son and grandchildren. Also the host of all who loved her and will miss her greatly. Rest in peace. Until we meet in Glory!🙏🏾✝️️❤️
To Joe and Jackie, I was very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. May God bless you both during this time and always.


My condolences to the family of Ms. Baker. It was a blessing to talk with her during lunch at NDE. She was very diligent about working with colleagues and students. Ms. Baker will be missed but never forgotten.
I encourage everyone to hold to God’s unchanging hand.
Blessings,
Dr. Antonia Kittrell
