We were so very sorry to hear of Cheryl's passing. I fondly remember her from when I worked at Thumb Industries and the times we worked at the thrift store together. She was such a sweet and kind person, and so easy to talk to. I will miss her smile and her hugs. To all of her family and friends, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May the angels welcome her into paradise! God bless you always and may He hold you all especially close during this most difficult time to...

It was always a pleasure speaking with Cheryl. Her presence was always so comforting and her home so welcoming. I thank her for the kind conversations we have had and for the times she had shared with our daughter throughout the years. Cheryl, you have done a great job in this life and will be greatly missed.
