Bradshaw it’s too early that you’re gone. I’m sadden to know of your passing and the world losing such a wonderful person. Your wonderful positive spirit was so hard to deny. Rest in heaven my friend. You are missed.
I had the privilege to serve with SFC Bradshaw for the last part of my career; but most of all to have her in my life for 15 years as a best friend, comrade and sister to me. Her commitment and duty to her country was unwavering, she was a true Soldier to the highest level.
She was always full of energy and on the go which was one of the many things I admired about her that I didn’t have. Her love for family, friends and especially for her daughter was unmeasurable. Her heart was kind and unselfish.
My sweet Bradshaw, I miss you! I always thought we would grow old together. You will always be a part of me and in my thoughts each and every day. You left us too soon but I will see you again my friend, someday I will see you again!
I have fond memories of serving with Sherry including a short time in Iraq. Almost always had a laugh and positive attitude. She will be missed. It was an honor and a privilege to serve with her. Please feel free to contact me with details on the service. I would like to try and attend if possible.
