I shared many good laughs with Cheryl. This one time comes to mind when i had an associate hide in a tv box, i called Cheryl over to electronics and i told her you're never going to belive this they took back a tv that was all smashed, so when se went to open the box and steve jumped out and scared Cheryl, i ran, i thought she was going to kill me. I would always stop by claims and talk music with cheryl , especially aerosmith and guns and roses. Cheryl will be greatly missed and my prayers go out to her family.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Cheryl and I were hired at wal-mart around the same time 8 1/2 yrs ago. she has been a good freind and she will be greatly missed. She was very easy to talk and listen to anyone who just needed to get things off thier mind. She would never judge any one but always ready to help if needed. She had a great sense of humor and I for one will greatly miss her.
