Thank you for sharing a small portion of your life with me. I very much enjoyed working with you at Tinker. The 'Karaoke' thing! Your "Boots are Made For Walk'n" will always be a great memory!! I am greatly sadden to learn that you have left us all behind. I pray that you are at peace and that your loved ones find comfort and solace in the memories of love that you all shared. Thank you for making a ‘difference’ in our lives.

Cheryl, what can I say about her. She was a dear friend, always had a smile on her face and was an encouraging woman. She is the one that always looked on the bright side of life and tell you that your gonna be alright. I worked with Cheryl for several years and also played on the Ya Ya Sisters pool team, great times. Bull was our distant cheerleader, when he couldn't be there to cheer us, we knew he was cheering us from a far. I'm so privileged to have known the both of them. I miss and love you Cheryl but I know you had to go and be with God, rest in peace my friend and we'll see each other again.

I will never forget Cheryl. She always had a smile on her face and we had a great time when we were on a pool league together with other Tinkerites. Bull, I am so sorry for your loss and if you need anything just let me know. Love you, Cheryl, and rest in peace.

Boy oh Boy, what do I say. It is so hard to believe we have lost another great person. We had lots of up and downs but always stayed close to each other. There are so many memories that I will cherish with me until we meet again. Couple of my favorite memories were back when I was little we would go shopping together. I would go down the aisle embarrassing you with a broom stick in between my legs saying “giddy up horsy” and “mommy don’t leave me” while you were trying to lose me in the store. I can picture you now, rolling your eyes at me. How about the time we went school shopping and left the mall with the crazy lady behind us waving a gun. My all time favorite and I believe it was yours as well because we always talked about it when we saw each other. It was after softball practice I went with you and we raced Dad home. We got off the highway and you asked is anyone coming on my side. I said “Just a truck” it ended up being Dad’s truck and we cut him off. We had a lot of fun times together. I will miss you always and I will keep all the memories close to my heart. I love you Cheryl xoxo
