I remember Cheryl as a petite dynamo in eighth grade. She was such a little powerhouse, full of ideas, sweet spirit, and love for her friends and fellow classmates. Always on the go. I am shocked and greatly saddened to her of your loss. Remember "to live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." God bless you and your whole family.

Nancy, Jerry and family, what a beautiful service today. And how Jeffrey was able to do his part I will never know. So meaningful and touching. Time may pass slowly for those surviving, but for Cheryl, it will be only a blink of an eye before she hears Jesus' voice calling her from the grave. Just a blink of an eye and you will be reunited with her once again, never to be separated again. May God bless you all and give you His peace and strength to carry you though until that glorious day.

Nancy and family, so sorry to hear about Cheryl. I didn't know she was sick so it was a shock to hear that she had died. You know my first year teaching at PAES she was in my third grade class and was the same age as our daughter, Caryn. Love and prayers. Francie and Russ Davidson

Nancy and Jerry,
No bond is so great as that between a parent and a child. Our hearts are broken to hear of Cheryl's passing. She is safe in the arms of Jesus where she will have no more pain. I know her Grandma and Grandpa Santry were there to meet her with open arms.
