Cheryl,

Words can not express how sorry I am for your loss. All I know is God is never fails.

Even when it does not make sense to us. God never fails. In our lowest moment, when we think we just can't go on.
Jesus can heal the pain that the world doesn't have an answer for.

When all of the phone calls and emails stop. When it seems like everyone has moved on from this pain but you.

Just remember God knows and he cares for you.

with love,

Courtney Milligan

Cheryl,

You, your sisters and I walked the halls of Whitehaven High School together and I had the pleasure of teaching your daughter and wathcing her grow into a beautiful young woman as she walked those same halls. What a pleasure she was to have as a student in my classes. We had a great time in New York-thanks for allowing me to know and nurture your child as a student in my class. Her resilient personality, beautiful smile and quiet spirit will never be forgotten.

God will give you the strength to move forward day by day!!!!!!

Ashley, The word sister doesn't even come close to what I feel for you! Feels like just yesterday, I told you that I was thinking about getting married to that special someone, and today I am signing this guestbook. To keep it short, looking back on it all. I am still enjoying all of the times that we were Blessed to have together, from the times we yelled at each other, To the times we use to play fight in the living room (And make Cheryl mad, lol) I love you always and I know all is well in heaven for you, keep it real, stay sweet, and I will look for you when I get up there!!! Cheryl, and Ashley, I love you both, and God Bless you both.
