My heart is truly broken that this truly beautiful, kind,caring,warm,and most lovely lady is gone and I will never be able to see her again!! She only ever had the sweetest things to say to me. We sat next to each other in the Encore rehearsal room......I only knew her for a short two years but she made me feel as if she had known me forever. If for some reason I did not attend rehearsal she immediately texted me to see If I was o.k. I received
such a text four days before I now know we lost her! I am sad beyond
belief that we have lost such a treasure of a human being and
Send condolences to her husband, Lance, and to her entire family!
I shall never forget this beautiful lady as long as I live!
Rest In Peace Cheryl.........I love you, Elizabeth❤
