I remember Sheryl when she cared for my father many years ago when he passed away from cancer. Her smile and warm eyes were so comforting and gentle. Just think of the countless patients and families that she has helped over her long and wonderful career. I am so sorry for your loss... it does not seem fair that she should leave us so soon. I will keep you and your family in my prayers for peace and healing.

The Sasser Family wish to send our best wishes to you and your family at this time of great loss. So sorry to learn of Sheryl's accident. She will always be remembered by all as a wonderful caring and giving person and like you Sherma, always such a joy to be around. When I think of her, I think of light and bright sunshine. I know the good lord had a great need for her in his wonderful works or she would not have had to go so soon. Thinking and praying for you peace and healing from this loss.

My dearest dearest Shermie and Don: I have no words to express how sorry I am. All, I know, Cheryl was a part of you and that instantly made her beautiful and wonderful. My prayers are with you and I pray for comfort for you and your family. Now, she is with our Heavenly Father and we will meet her soon. My love and prayers forever to you.

Sherma, Don, Tim, and the rest of the family,
The loving care she gave Gladys at the last family reunion is indicative of the type of person Sheryl was.
We will all miss her but she gave us all some beautiful memories.

Jay, Jacob and Nicha, I love you all and am so sorry. Sheryl was an amazing, beautiful, lady who always treated me like her own son. I will dearly miss her warm hugs and welcoming smile. I pray that God will comfort you guys as you begin to heal, and that while the pain of loosing her will eventually fade that her wonderful memory will stay fresh for a lifetime.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Jay, it's been many years since I've seen you, but Sheryl was such a breath of fresh air during the dark days of my sister's illness(Diana). My prayers are with you. I know how hard these times are; stay strong you are much loved!

Sheryl was the most vibrant person I have had the pleasure of knowing, with a smile that would light up a dark room. I worked with Sheryl and got to know of her love for her husband Jay, and her children and grand children were the love of her life, and there was no one with more compassion and kind words for her clients. There are no words I can think of to ease the pain I know all of you are going through. I am just so sorry for your loss, and ours.

Nicha,
Although years and miles have separated us I want you and your family to know I am praying for you. You have always been a very special and one of two people I have ever considered a true best friend. I am thinking of you all.
If you need a good laugh just to help get through the tough times remember our I Would Do Anything For Love concert at Ashley's.
I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your Mom.
The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. Nahum 1:7

Sheryl brought light into the darkest places of our Oncology Clinic. She never withheld her love or affection from her patients or colleagues and always had words of encouragement, understanding and kindness to share. She always knew when someone needed a hug, or a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen. She demonstrated the finest qualities of nursing and of humanity. She was divine and she is Divine. She will be held so dearly in my heart. I am so sorry for your terrible loss.
Most sincerely,
Mary

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Sheryl in the Oncology Clinic. I will never forget the kindness in her touch. She was so sincere with her hands, her touch, & her hugs. What an honor to have worked with such an amazing woman. There are no words to express my saddness for your loss. I am so sorry.
Yours, Laura

She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sorrowful time.

Sherma, I am so glad we got to visit on the phone. I cannot imagine the sorrow of loosing a child. And I am so sorry for the siblings and aunts, uncles, cousins for their lose. My Sunday School class had a prayer for all of you. And how hard for the step dad.
My love to you all,

I am shocked.I worked with Sheryl as a nurse at Community Hospital. I remember her sweet personality and beautiful smile. I, like others, felt her presence light up the room.
Tenderly--May time heal your sorrow,
Gently----May friends ease your pain
Softly---- May peace replace heartache,
And may warmest memories remain.

I met Sheryl when she cared for my father in Hospice in the early 90's. I went on to have the absolute pleasure of her as a supervisor, field nurse, mentor and friend at RMHP. When my best friend developed stage 4 cancer we requested and were accepted by Sheryl and Dr. Virgilio for care. Sheryl is the most compasionate, loving soul that ever walked this earth. That she was taken from this earth must only mean that God needed a head angel to teach the other angels how to care for others. I cannot imagine an earth without her. I know Jay, Nicha and Jacob, that you must be devastated. You were all so important to her and those grandbabies were the light of her life. Her life and her work here was so important. I am a better person for having known her. Her influence lives on.

Sheryl was my oncology nurse with Dr. Virgillio. I want to express my heart felt condolences not only to her immediate family but also to her "Pavillion" family. I will truly miss her beautiful smile and kind words she always had for me during my ongoing treatments and follow up visits. She was truly one of GOD'S chosen Earth Angels and now she is a Heavenly Angel.

Sheryl treated my daughter and I like her own. Being Nicha's best friend for almost 20 years I felt like she was my second mother. She was a beautiful example of unconditional love & a sweet, sweet spirit. I looked up to her as a mother, wife, grandmother, daughter, friend, worker & woman. I'm a better person for knowing her. I'm so thankful for all the little ways she touched our hearts. I'm heartbroken to think about this world loosing such a beautiful soul. Jerrica will miss all of MeMe's hugs and kisses too. I thank you Sheryl for being such an amazing person! You are SO, SO missed!!! I LOVE YOU! Your Jenny

Sheryl's friendly, smiling face...gone forever but not forgotten.
As Dr.Virgilio's oncology nurse, she was a knowledgeable, dedicated professional. Always upbeat, she celebrated with her patients an excellent blood-test result and comforted them when the results were not so good. She was one of the many super nurses at St. Mary's Cancer Center who guided my husband and me through an uncomfortable battle of chemotherapy to kill the ovarian cancer.
We will always remember the celebratory and comforting hugs.
Thank you, Sheryl, from the bottom of our hearts!

Our thoughts, prayers and love to all of the family. Sheryl was one of the most nicest, loving, positive and upbeat people we ever knew. Our hearts are so saddened by the loss of our dear friend. She touched so many people's lives and was a blessing to so many. We were priviledged to have known her. We and all that knew her will miss her so much.

I worked with Sheryl, and although I didn't know her well, she was the kind of person you would meet once and never forget. Such a kind heart and soul. I'm sure she touched every person she ever met. My sympathy to her family.

Sheryl was a skilled, dedicated nurse for Rocky Mountain Health Plans Home Health when my late wife was ill.
Sheryl's diligence and skill helped Jan to deal with both the discomforts of her illness and the more difficult side effects of her treatment. Sheryl helped to improve her quality of life, despite the seriousness of her illness.
I'm sure that many patients and other families have benefited from Sheryl's compassion and expertise. My condolences go out to Sheryl's family and co-workers.
