Dennis and Family,

I was so sad to hear about Cheryl. We have not seen or talked to one another in nearly 40 years, but I have fond memories from High School with you and Cheryl.

Centennial is our home church, but we were in California visiting our children when we heard the news. I hated that we were not here for the funeral. We have learned to love your Mom since we have been at the church.

I just pray God's blessings on you all and if there is anything that we can do for you, please let us know. We will be thinking of you.

Blessings,
Rhonda (McWaters) and Ben Duren

Dear Stanton Family,
I remember Cheryl from the two years I was with her at LHS. She was sax and me clarinet. What a hoot! I'm sure she'll be sincerely missed as I still remember her as a friend. May the Lord comfort you all.

I got to know Cheryl when I worked at the restaraunt and found that she could be so funny sometimes. She was always good to me and I know she will be very much missed by her family. My thoughts are with them at this time.

Dennis, I was so saddened to hear about Cheryl. My heart goes out to you, as I know your pain all too well. These coming days, weeks, and months you can only pull your strength from the Lord because this is a hard path to walk, but you do not have to do it alone. I will be praying for you and your family.
