Not sure what to say?

Sheryl, how can it be 12 years all ready that you were called home? I miss you! Thank you for being such a great friend to me! Vanessa

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

As I may have written in the past, I met Sheryl through a mutual friend - a lifelong friend of Sheryl's (a former client of mine that has since become a dear friend of mine over the past 20 years0. Sheryl was beautiful inside and out - and was a kind, caring & peace-filled young woman that loved her family deeply and was fiercely loyal to her friends.

Wow, I was thinking of Sheryl tonight and I happened found her obit.
I worked with Sheryl. She always seemed kind and wise beyond her years.
I wish I had known her better, she was a unique and beautiful soul

I am so sorry to hear of Sheryl's passing. I saw the wonderful video that was done in her honor. She was such a joy and kind girl to know. How blessed she was to have found you. She left this world too soon. May you, your son and both families find peace and always hang onto the wonderful years that you shared with one another.

My condolences to Sheryl's family and friends--I was very sorry to hear of her passing. We were opponents on a couple of cases over the years--she was a smart attorney and made even the tedious fun. And always with style and grace. I know that she'll be missed by everyone who knew her.

Jeff and Jake, I am sorry for your loss. Sheryl seemed by all the writings to be a wonderful woman full of love and compassion for others. I pray that God gives you comfort and support.

To Sheryl's parents, as a mother who lost a son too soon, my heart aches for you! I feel your pain, and with times, it will ease, it just never goes away. I pray that God gives you comfort and support as you grieve your loss of your beloved daughter, Sheryl. Keep Sheryl's memories alive, and...

I did not have the pleasure to meet Sheryl, but knowing she is at peace and was surrounded by love at the end will live forever; that her life gave such memories too beautiful to forget and cherished in the hearts of the ones who knew her. I am an old friend of the Lapka family that goes far back, and I to have went through what it is like to loose loved ones from such an unforgiving disease. I can only imagine what great joys she brought to those so dear to her.

Jeff, I am so...

Jeff - It has been along time since I have seen Sheryl. I will remember her at the rugby house with a smile on her face! You and your family will be in my prayers.
