Celebrating Sherry’s Legacy: A Birthday Tribute to the Heart of Good Grounds Coffee Co.
August 30th will always hold a special place in our hearts. It’s the day we celebrate what would have been my mother Sherry’s 65th birthday. This year marks her second birthday since her passing in 2023, and while she is no longer with us, her spirit and love continue to shape our lives every day. Sherry was more than just a mother—she was the heart and soul of our family, and her influence runs deep in everything we do, especially with Good Grounds Coffee Co., the business we started with her in mind.
We’re proud to honor her with two of our signature offerings: the August Dark Roast and Sherry’s Blend.
The August Dark Roast: A Tribute to Strength and Simplicity
The August Dark Roast is a single-origin coffee, hand-selected for its rich, robust flavor that embodies the strength and depth of character my mother always carried with her. This coffee is a nod to her birthday month and reflects her love for the bold, no-nonsense aspects of life. Each sip is a reminder of her unwavering resilience and her ability to find strength even in life’s simplest moments. Just like her, this coffee is strong, comforting, and unforgettable.
Sherry’s Blend: A Celebration of Warmth and Togetherness
Sherry’s Blend is a roasted coffee sourced from multiple regions, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that mirrors the warmth and unity she brought into our lives. My mother was all about bringing people together, and this blend does just that—a perfect mix that’s smooth, inviting, and comforting. Whether you’re sharing it at a family gathering or enjoying a quiet moment of reflection, Sherry’s Blend captures the essence of her generosity and love. We wanted this blend to reflect her welcoming nature, a quality that anyone who knew her felt in abundance.
A Legacy of Love and Family
Family was everything to my mother, and her dedication to her daughters was unmatched. She was our biggest supporter, our confidante, and our guide. We couldn’t be where we are today without her unconditional love and encouragement. Even as we built Good Grounds Coffee Co., she was right there, cheering us on and offering her wisdom. It brings us peace knowing that she got to see the beginning of this journey before she passed. Her belief in us gave us the confidence to push forward, and every milestone we reach feels like it’s shared with her.
Though she’s no longer here to celebrate this birthday, we carry her memory with us in all that we do. Her love and the values she instilled in us—kindness, strength, and the importance of family—are woven into every decision we make and every cup of coffee we brew.
On this August 30th, as we pour a cup of the August Dark Roast or savor the comforting notes of Sherry’s Blend, we celebrate her life and the incredible legacy she left behind. She will always be the inspiration behind Good Grounds Coffee Co. and the heart of our family. Happy Birthday, Mom. Your love continues to guide us, and we’re forever grateful for everything you gave us.
