She came into our lives in the mid 60's and remained a good friend through several states, including our time at West Point, with the 115th MP Company, on active duty. So many wonderful memories and lasting thoughts that will not fade with time. She is irreplaceable and never forgotten. A loss that we all mourn.
Our hearts and prayers go out to Charlie and their sons and grandchildren.
With love, prayers and a wish for memories of the good times,

Dear Charlie, Eric, Peter and family, I had the privilege of working with Cheryl at the Cranston Arc. Her sense of humor got us through many a busy day. We shared stories about our lives and things we wanted to accomplish. Through these stories I know how much she loved her family and how proud she was when her grandaughter was born. This is a loss for anyone who has known her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
