To my Family: I am so sorry that we have lost another loved one. I had not seen or talked to Aunt Cheryl in a long while but kept up with her through my Dad (Arnold). Just know that even though I could not be in NC during this difficult time, I have you all in my thoughts and prayers. Aunt Cheryl always let me know that she loved me no matter how it had been since we had seen one another so those are the memories that I will hold close to my heart. Love to you all, Lawrence 'David' Greene

Dear Cheryl's family,
Cheryl, as my daughter's Head Start teacher, was one of the first people I met when we moved here in 1985. She was a dear, wonderful, and always remembered teacher to my daughter and a loving friend to me. She was there to talk with my daughter even in her troubled teen years. I wish Cheryl and I hadn't lost touch in the last few years. She will always be remembered for her loving, generous, uplifting spirit.
