We were just starting to keep in touch. Reminiscing High school. What great times you Cindy and I had together. So sorry to have you leave so soon. God Bless and you will be missed by many.

Cherie was never too busy to stop and recognize the grief that lies in another's eyes. Too busy to offer to help or share. Too busy to sympathize or care. We know that life is never measured by how many years we live, but by the kindly things we do and the happiness we give. Her S&M Collision family appreciated her loyalty, work ethic, integrity and tenacity. But her greatest love was her children. She was our friend. Friendship is a priceless gift that can't be bought or sold. To have an understanding friend is worth far more than gold. Prayer is so often just words unspoken, whispered in tears by a heart that is broken....For God is already deeply aware of the burdens we find too heavy to bear. We will truly miss you, Cherie.

I worked with Cherie in Columbia, SC. She was one of the sweetest and funniest friends I knew. She was always helpful towards others, enjoyed a good joke and loved her children. I always enjoyed talking with her and sharing good times. Cherie will definitely be missed by all. My prayers go out to her children and family.

Brenda, Kelly and I are thinking of you in your loss of Cherie. Kelly and I, in disbelief of Cherie's passing, shared our individual stories of you and your daughter. Kelly reminded me of when she and Cherie were 2 years of age, and got into my new, costly makeup; lavished this all over their faces and bodies. We have such fond memories of your beloved daughter; how beautiful she looked on her wedding day in her long dress, so young. I am so sorry, Brenda. I am praying for your peace and comfort. I am having years of masses said through the Sacred Heart Society, for you and your daughter. Always fondness and love for you and Cherie, Brenda. Bobbye and Kelly Schehr (Greer).

Don and family,

I got to know Cherie as a beautiful and vibrant girl when I worked at Konica Business Machines with you. I was shocked when I saw the newspaper yesterday morning. Please except my deepest sympathy on your terrible loss. My prayers are with you all, God bless.

Cherie was such a special person. She had a wonderfully kind and loving heart. I never knew her to be unkind or say unkind things about other people. She always had a smile for me and for others.

Not only was she a good person, she was a very hard worker. She did a fabulous job while she was working for me. Cherie was an excellent paralegal and an even better friend. I will miss her very much.

My heart goes out to the family she's left behind.

Cherie was truly one of a kind, unforgettable and so full of life. I'll miss so many things about her - her laughter, complete love of her farmily and friends, her stories about New Orleans, how she could work circles around everyone and still laugh while doing it, her love of entertaining and cooking for everyone, the way she never met a stranger. There are so many things I will always remember about Cherie - I'm so thankful to have had her as my friend, even though it wasn't for long enough. Cherie knew how to live, laugh and love more than anyone I've ever met. She will truly be missed by many!

Brenda, Don, Stacy, and all of the family ,
I cannot express how sad I am to hear of Cherie's passing. She was such a good, kind and loving person. I was so proud to have her as my first legal secretary. She and I started together and learned as we handled a multitude of cases and litigation. She was a joy to work with and always enthusiastic to help me in any way she could. I miss her more and more as I now know what a rareity she was in the legal world. I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing you all as I will be out of town on Tuesday. Love to you all,

There are no words to express the sadness and void my family and all of the people Cherie worked with at our repair facility. We are finding it hard just to carry on the day to day chores. It will never be the same without having Cherie by our side. We are all truly heartbroken and will always remember the way she helped and put a smile on everybody's face. Cherie was a one of a kind and just a beautiful person. We were blessed to be a part of Cherie's life and will always Thank God he sent her our way. She will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We love you Cherie and I know God has a special place for you with his angels.

I rode to work today thinking of all the funny things Cherie did...I started out crying and then started giggling thinking about all of the silly stories, parties, concerts, and cooking adventures we all had together. Although she moved to New Orleans, we always updated each other on what was going on with her. She did everything BIG and we all loved her for it. My sadness for her family is profound...they will all be in my prayers.
