My deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss (although just temorary until you are all together again one fine day)I only had the priviledge to meet Cheryl once, at Andrews play Oliver in Frederick. She was so proud of him,of her whole family as I quickly learned in the short time before the Show and during Intermission. What a treat for her and all of us there who saw Andrew sing Where is Love to her from the Stage, but a few feet from her table. Peace to you and your family during this most trying time.- Jim

Oh the sadness you must feel right now
We hope these words will comfort some how
We send to you our prayers and love
Knowing Cheryl's watching from above
She's trying on her new set of wings
While we sit back and remember things
Trying to hold on to every happy thought
Proud of Cheryl for the fight she fought
Cheryl's getting settled in her new home
Being greeted by loved ones -- she's not alone
Keep your face pointed toward the sky
Cause Cheryl will surely be floating by
Letting you know that all is well.
