You were a wonderful lady. You took such good care of my kid. Then I had the pleasure to work with you. I shall always remember you.

Cherry was a big part of our family for many years! One of the sweetest women I have ever met! She will be missed dearly.

My heart is heavy for all of your family and friends. This was something no one expected. I'm sure with the help of each other and The Lord whom she loved, you will find comfort. I'm very glad I had time with her when Aaron lived next door to her. We ate at picnics and laughed at children. Her greatest joy was her grandchildren, and great grandson. I am praying for everyone. I loved her too. God bless. Laurie Golden-Ribble.

Cherry taped Andy Griffith shows for me before the came out on video. We used to joke a lot about the shows and other things. I will miss her Quick wit and her friendship.
