Offering my deepest condolences during this difficult time; death is something we are never prepared for. Though sometimes we feel powerless to change circumstances in our lives, it is comforting to know the Lord is in control. Please find comfort in knowing God has promised He will do away with sickness, pain and death. I know as we grieve, all of Heaven is rejoicing. His word is truth. God will give you strength during this time of loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Cheryl's family. She was an extraordinary woman. A great mother and grandmother. She adored her family. I am especially saddened for Blake at this time. He has lost so much in his short life. His momma and now his grandmother. The two people who adored him like no others. Sending my condolences to Carrie and Blake and all of Cheryl's family. Angels are truly among us as our Lord and Savior have joined again Cheryl and Lisa to be together in the forever light of everlasting. I loved you all so much and think about you everyday.
