I'm a long time friend of Cheryl. We were in the antiques business together and often time's, Cheryl would come up to Ohio and buy from our shop. We loved sparkle and French decor. She was extremely talented! I'm saddened that I had know idea that she had passed. I noticed that it had been some time since she has posted on her social media sites. So I decided to reach out as time slips away from us. We love you up here in Ohio Cheryl and I will never forget our friendship.
