The middle of September meant saying ‘goodbye’ to Sherina Johnson as a member of our staff here at the “NS”SF.  It already seems odd to go through a workday without the dedication she brought to our agency and the laughter she often introduced to the office.  Hopefully. she will forgive us if we post here a little bit of prose that was given to her as a framed memento on her last day.  I call it SHERINA By Name , and believe that it reveals her personality and character much the same as a mirror might reflect them.  We wish the best for her.

SHERINA  By Name 

She cares for others

Her heart is pure

Everyone she touches feels blest 

Reliance on God is her stronghold

Inspiration guides her choices

Nothing in life defeats her spirit

Angels shield her from harm
