Sherrie Chatelain: An Amazing Friend & Joyous Soul
By: Dr. Russ Schroeder, Director of Operations & Logistics

The world has lost an amazing friend while Heaven has gained one of the most joyous souls I have ever known. I met Sherrie just a few years ago but we became fast friends and Kingdom co-laborers. Though we lived hours apart I enjoyed serving with her at CLSTG via innumerable phone calls and emails.

She gifted unparalleled excellence to our team, partner schools and students around the world. Whenever our team gathered in Columbus, GA it was Sherrie that ensured every room was brightened by her spirit and smile. Our last time together, she made sure I had a batch of her homemade spicy salsa…the.best.ever!

There is so much left to say, my friend. You are irreplaceable in every way. Until we meet again one day, we mourn our loss while being jealous of your gain. See you soon, Sherrie Benoit Chatelain…your legacy will outlive us all.
