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!

Dara E. Herbert celebrated her 25th Birthday Party at her home on January 16, 2016. She did a fantastic job in the planning of the Event- everything was great! The party was for her peers only, her parents and other adults were not invited and had to leave before the party actually started “rocking.” Dara had a candle lit outdoor heated tent put up with high tables & chairs to add to the ambience for her guests. Shown above is a beautiful photo of Dara and a gorgeous table scape and her Birthday Cake which was made in the shape of a suit case and was mouth-watering delicious I might add! The suit case is a symbol of her interest in travel. Over the past 2 years, Dara has traveled to Punta Cana, New Orleans, LA, Tuskegee, Alabama, Jamaica, Dallas, TX, and cities around the Philadelphia metropolitan area and she has plans for many more destinations. Dara works with children in the School District of Philadelphia and is working on her Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling, which she expects to be complete early next year.

Life is a Gift. Never forget to enjoy and bask in every moment you are in~~unknown
