Support for Sherry Taylor's Family After Tragedy

My name is Joseph and our family needs your help. On Sunday 7/7/24, my mother Sherry Taylor was on her way to pick my aunt up from work. She called her at 10:02pm and said, 'I'm running a few minutes late but I'm right down the street.' She said, 'Ok, see you in a min. I love you,' and she said, 'Love you too,' as they always said. She never arrived. My aunt Penny was calling her phone over and over again, but it went to voicemail every time.

She waited almost 2 hours because she knew my mother would never leave her at work. She then called an Uber and spent the whole ride wondering where her sister was. She wasn't home for 5 minutes when she got the call from the Elyria Police Department telling her that my mother had been involved in an accident and asked if he could go to her home to talk to her. She instantly fell to her knees to ask God why? She just knew in her heart she was going to be okay.

Well, two men, the driver being intoxicated, ran a red light and drove straight into my mother's car, striking her at such a rate of speed it killed her instantly. My mother didn't have a chance, due to the carelessness of the driver who chose to drive drunk. My mother wasn't only a mother; she was a grandmother, a wife, an aunt, with a beautiful soul. She wouldn't hurt a fly. She had just struggled with the loss of my sister, her daughter on 1/22/24 who was only 28 years old and left her 4 grandkids.

My mother did not deserve this. She was getting ready to graduate from LCCC in the fall with a degree to be a social worker. She always tried to help others and this was definitely the field for her. Our family needs help. We were not prepared for this horrific accident to happen to her by the man that chose to drink and drive. Anything at this time will help. Thank you and God bless.
