News from Sherlynne Lake of Atlanta, Georgia:
After becoming an empty nester, I moved from Ohio to Atlanta to pursue my dream of becoming a nail educator, a celebrity nail technician and opening a franchise nail school along with opening a Beauty Salon. I thank God I was able to accomplish this this year.
My daughter Raven Chambers welcomed princess Imani A. Wright on May 26, 2016. She is a sweet adorable baby. (Photos below are of me with my wonderful grandchildren.) Our lovely 2-year old is Layla Brielle Johnson and our 6-year old is Jaehdyn Zymir Coleman. They are the children of my daughter, Raven, grandchildren of Sherlynne Lake, great grandchildren of Sylvia D. Lake and great-great grandchildren of the late, Barbara Lake Jenkins.
My grandson, Jaehdyn Coleman was promoted to 1st grade and plays little league football for the Columbus Raiders.
Congrats Sherlynne, Continued Blessings!
