I was deeply saddened to learn the tragic news of Cheryl’s passing. She was an amazing woman-so incredibly giving and compassionate. Her presence at TRIA was a gift to us all. During this difficult time, may beautiful memories of the love and joy Cheryl brought to the lives of so many provide comfort to her family and friends.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Dear Pat, Al & Diane,
I will remember Cheryl as an intelligent, confident, vibrant young woman - exceptional in every way. And that smile - that beautiful smile showed us all how loved she was and how loved she felt. I feel fortunate that I had the opportunity to get to know Cheryl during our mission trip in Mexico and enjoyed every minute of knowing her. It is clear that she will be deeply missed and forever remembered. The stars in the sky are a little bit brighter now. My heartfelt sympathy to you all.

Pat and family, I am so sad to hear about Cheryl's death. I had the opportunity to work with her on our mission trip to Puebla this past April. She was such a delight to have as part of our group. Even though you couldn't see her mouth under her mask, you could tell she was always smiling by looking at her big, bright eyes. It was a pleasure to have gotten to know her. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

To my dear friend Cheryl,
There are no words to describe my sadness! I miss your smile, I miss your laugh, I miss our morning coffees! I have been so blessed to have you in my life! And though our time together was short, you have made a lasting impression on my life and you'll forever be alive in my heart!
Love you,
Jaclyn
