Cheryl was one of my favorite customer when I worked at Brighton. I loved working with her in her store. She gave me one year for Christmas a beautiful scarf and cook book. I will miss her forever.
Love you

I remember Cheryl fondly from Millikan High School in Long Beach. Although we were not close friends, she was a leader even then. I am not surprised by all of her accomplishments in life. I'm sure she is organizing things in Heaven already. To her family, I am so sorry for your loss. She was too young to be taken from you. However, I am certain that you will see her again in Heaven.
