Cheryl and I were friends since second grade. We always enjoyed everything. We could find something humorous about everything. Cheryl was there when I had my first baby. We kept up our friendship throughout our lives. She brought much joy to me. She was talented and smart. She could write humorous articles for a magazine and commercials for a business. She edited medical pamphlets for the medical profession. She never gave up when her health problems started. I will miss her. She was my best friend. Nancy Webb
