We became close , something about horse people. God meant us to meet. You taught me a lot about ability and being satisfied with what your ability is and I thank you for that. Your family became part of my family all four legs and two legged. I would still be there if I could. God bless

Rounding the bed on North Road will NEVER be the same. I knew Cheryl from my horse showing days. She touched a lot of lives in a positive way. I am so sorry for your loss.

Even after 21 years I remember my third grade teacher fondly. Ms Livengood encouraged my fondness for reading. I remember her having us read the Stephen Cosgrove books and they had me mesmerized. I just wanted more so I read everything I could get my little hands on. I don't think I would love reading as much as I do now if it wasn't for her. She was an amazing teacher. Thank you Ms Livengood for everything you did for me. She will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.

I met Cheryl when my father and I had horses at the Butler Fair and other local horse shows. Also she was at the Saddleclub barn at the Fairgrounds for the time I was there and had a pony named Cinnamon. She was a sweet person. She will be remembered.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Livengood, I am truly sorry to hear of Cheryl's passing. It has been years since she and my sister, Joyce, attended many of the local car races that Cheryl reported to the Eagle. I'm so very sorry that our paths haven't recently crossed. Please accept my sympathy and know that one very courageous and wonderful woman is now in God's care.

We have been out of touch but Cheryl brought a little girls dreams of having a pony to life,by selling me a pony in the early 70s. Her name was Syndol Gwaindolyn my best friend for over 25 years. I have always thought a lot of Cheryl for that. She touched so many lives in so many ways.God has beautiful ponies for her to drive in heaven. Liz Klee-Tissue
