A Prayer by Vance Blalock, Sr.
We thank thee, heavenly Father that you have permitted us to come together in thy name. We are grateful, heavenly Father, because you have said that where two or three would be gathered in thy name you would be present. Help us, heavenly Father, to realize more and more our need of thee. Permit us, heavenly Father, to bring all our cares and burdens to thee now as children of thine. Amen
I am the way and the truth and the life. – John 14:6
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. – Philippians 4:4-5

I will always remember Cheryl for always having such a sweet smile on her face and being such a kind soul and “letting me” win in our lunchtime games of uno at uthsc. She was strong, selfless and funny. I will never forget her and miss her always.

I worked with Cheryl but also had the pleasure of a car ride one day with her. We talked about past jobs, travel and hobbies. She had some very amusing stories. She gave me the idea of looking for an arborist to address one of my lawn issues, something I would have never thought of myself. At work she was always so responsive and helpful, even during more challenging times. The strength and perseverance she showed were inspiring. My deepest condolences for your loss. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
