Not a day goes by that I don't think of the fun Cher brought into my life. She saved my wedding day by loaning her dress to my cousin because the airlines lost hers. She was always saving the day. God I miss her.

Cheryl was a beautiful soul inside and out. She was funny, kind and caring. She never judged she just accepted. I will always be forever grateful that I had the chance to spend the day at the beach with Cheryl and Lauren. My boys still talk about the Jersey Shore and the fun they had with Cheryl's daughter. I am so glad she was in my life, I just wish she had stayed with us longer.

I am at a loss for words. I can not imagine a world without Cher. She was beautiful inside and out. I regret so much as I write this; not telling her enough of how amazing she was; not telling her how lucky I was to have had her in my life; not telling her I loved her; but most of all not telling her good bye. Her laughter, beautiful smile, and kind heart will be missed. I wish I could understand why she left us so soon.

The last time I saw Cheryl was at a reunion where she spoke endlessly of Lauren. I'm sure you make her proud. She was a wonderful childhood friend who was always ready for fun. I remember summers full of Cher impersonations, dance routines and board games in her garage. Try to remember all the wonderful times together, as I will. My thoughts are with you and your family during time of grief.

To Pat, Lauren and all of the Paupst family,
I was lucky enough to grow up with Cheryl. She was one in a million. Her smile lit up a room, and her laugh could be heard in the next county. She was someone that was sweet and funny, the life of the party, yet had the time to talk to you privately if she thought something was bothering you.
Even two years ago, when we talked at the reunion..... we came up to each other and picked up with our back and forth teasing, right where we left off the last time.
I will miss her immensely, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you that loved her.

I only met Cheryl a few times, once was at her wedding, I was married to her brother. I am very sorry to hear of her passing. Condolences to her daughter Lauren and husband Patrick as well as her mother, father and sister Susan. She was so young... May she rip. I lost my mother 1.5 years ago and feel for her daughter.

Pat, Lauren, & to all of Cheryl's family. I am so very sorry for your loss, my deepest sympathy to you all. I remember Cheryl very well from High School. She had an amazing smile, her laughter was fun to hear, and eyes that sparkled all the way down the hallways at ESM. We had several classes together, while we were never really friends (we are united by being a part of the class of 1981), she was always a very friendly person and said hi to everyone. I am saddened to hear of the loss of another wonderful classmate. May God give you much comfort at this time and may he bless you and be with you always.

Pat, Lauren, the McMillan and Paupst Families, and friends of Cheryl...many years have passed since my ESM HS days but I will always remember my school days from Pine Grove through graduation in 1981 and the fond memories of Cheryl. She was fun and she was funny! She was well liked and a friend of many. Over the years, our HS reunions brought us back together. Life changed for many of us but good memories were shared and new ones made. I will miss hearing Cheryl's voice from near or far and the laughter. I am so sorry Lauren and Pat for your loss and for all those who grieve at this time. I was glad to have known her and hope to meet up with you both to share stories and memories with the ESM 1981 girls. Peace and may God comfort you at this time.

Lauren and Pat, my heart goes out to you on the sudden passing of Cheryl. She was such a wonderful person who always managed to brighten any day with her bright smile and thoughtful words. I can't imagine your grief and I wish I had the words to express my overwhelming sadness for your loss. We were lucky to have her and now heaven has a beautiful angel in their midst. I am so, so sorry.
