Cheryl, my heart goes out to you. There are no words I can say that will ease your pain right now, but please know that I understand. You're a good friend and you've always supported me in my saddest and darkest times, when my mom passed and when Julie was murdered. Believe me when I say that if you ever need to talk or just have a good cry, please call on me. I hope that I can support you as much as you've supported me. God bless you and your family.
