Sherry Ann Thomas, a 49-year-old white woman, was found dead Saturday, July 18, in the 5200 block of Colodny Drive in Agoura Hills, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s records.

At 11:27 a.m., deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to a home to perform a welfare check, according to a news release.

Sherry was my Aunt. My role model and the light at the end of everybody’s tunnel. She was always kind and never mean. Always full of life and the positivity anyone needed in times of need. The father of my son recently died in a helicopter crash, and she was there to help my son and me through it the first week following his death. I’m a little upset by Hayden’s comment because if his family knew he was depressed, they needed to physically be there for him and not leave him an empty nester. The voicemail that was left on Hayden’s mother’s phone the night of the death should have served as a warning and should have been reported right away to the police. The voicemail was with a voice
Changer, saying , ”I’m going to kill you, it’s my time watch your back b$&@h.” That is straight out of a horror movie and should have been reported right away. Now my Aunt Sherry has died in the worst way imaginable by a man who had issues that his family probably knew about and why John was divorced in the first place. I should have done a background check a long time ago because I did one now, and it shows John has felonies from 1997. Anyways .. there is no going backwards , and blaming people isn’t going to turn back time. But what are we going to do as a community to save the next Beautiful kind hearted women so she isn’t abused or murdered by a jealous man?
