As a child, I knew Cheryl when visiting her home of her parents! She always welcomed my family(Murray's) when we were there. So many special memories spending time with the Child Family!

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your wife and mom, Cheryl. She was an amazing, generous and giving person. I remember her wonderful smile and laugh. I'm thankful we reunited and were able to see each other a few times at the cape or in West Springfield. She lives on in all of you. My heart and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time. Love, Laurie Sullivan

To the whole Howard family, I am so sorry for your loss. Every time I saw Mrs. Howard out and about, which was quite often, she would always greet me with a smile and a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She would quite honestly make my day every time I saw her. She always made me laugh and smile and I will be forever grateful for knowing her. My sincere condolences, Joe LaBranche.

Dear Cheryl´s family, Please accept my deepest sympathy in her passing. I knew her from Tatham School through High School. She was an extremely intelligent and friendly person. I was happy to see her last year at our class reunion. I hope that many wonderful memories may ease your sorrow in her passing.
