Glynice,

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Cheryl's passing. I have fond memories of us living next door to one another on Ferndale Avenue and how Cheryl and you would take "New" shopping. Cheryl was always a positive person who loved to sing and she always encouraged others to be optimistic. Cheryl will truly be missed and please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

I was a young man who lived down the street from Cheryl on Ferndale Ave years ago. As a young man I always made sure I spoke to her as she past my house. I am sure Cheryl will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family! Keep your head up Cheryl has gone to be with the father.

Cheryl was a special person that touched my life in such a positive way. She explained that the Lord would provide (always) and that he was good. I'm so happy that she is no longer in pain but dancing with our savior in heaven. I will miss her and remember how she cared so much for others. My heart felt condolences to her family.

Dino and family---Know that even though this seems like the end of the world and no one could ever understand or know what you are feeling---God knows and most of all He cares. He provided for us in His word..."to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" and "Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted". Take comfort in knowing that the Father of all flesh sees and knows all. He careth for you. Rest in His ever present peace and love. My love and prayers are with you during this time.
