Cheryl you will be missed! I promise I will be there for your daughter. You touched everyones lives, as it showed at your memorial. Whenever I would call the house for Brenda you always knew it was me no matter how long it had been between calls. You will be truely missed. I believe the Lord needs you and it was your time. Although we can be angry that you left us so soon its okay because you are in a better place, and you will be in our hearts forever. My prayers go out to Cheryls family and friends. Love Cass

Between my brother and I, Cheryl has been in our lives as our bus driver for about 15 years. She was always so warm and friendly when I'd see her. No matter what happened at school, it was always wonderful to start and end the day with Cheryl. My heart goes out to all whose lives were touched by Cheryl.

So sad to hear of Cheryl's sudden passing. My heart goes out to her family, and extended family at MSD Transportation, and all the families (including mine) who have been blessed to have Cheryl as their busdriver. I always appreciated her friendly hellos and goodbyes as my kids got on and off her bus from 1991 through 2007, and then her waves to me in the following years when I'd be out fetching the morning paper as her bus rolled by. Peace be with you, Cheryl. You will be missed!

When someone is taken from us at such a "young age"......we have to not look at the years of life they had but rather the life in the years they had. Cheryl definitely had life in her years...she was always telling me of activities she was engaging in with family members or friends......she had time for everyone and always had a smile to give away. I enjoyed the few years that I was fortunate enough to work with Cheryl.....she was a wonderful person and her presence will truly be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
