Cheryl Basil

Cheryl was my Grandmother, I still miss her to this day. I wish she would still be here to see me graduate and go on to college. It is true how she spoiled me and my sister, and I truly feel like my entire life and personality changed ever since she passed. Love you grandma, I never forgot about you
-Ahren Basil-

Cheryl, I think of you often--I think of your smile, laugh and your jovial manner. The time you would stop and give to people as they would stop you in the walkways as you were walking to take a breather which you didn't get very often. You ALWAYS gave your time to others, you never said no...you always stopped and listened and guided and made people feel special and smarter! you were hard but for the right reasons...you respected people and also provided guidance. I admired you and I tried to be like you...you were and will be one of the Services giants my friend. As I walk out the door of Services next month I walk out knowing that I had the pleasure of being mentored by one of the best in the business. Oh and your daughter is a genius just like you--be proud ;) and that grandbaby is so cute. All of your family is just beautiful!!! We all miss you friend -- we know you are a beautiful guardian angel. still missing you...forever in our Services hearts.

To my dearest friend Cheryls family. Life without a loved one is very hard as I am finding out. Seems so unfair. I pray you all are doing well and moving forward knowing Cheryl is right by your side. I so loved Cheryl. I send Gods grace and my love to each of you!

Ned and family. My Larry joined Cheryl in heaven 29 Jan 2018. His loss has been heartbreaking as I know Cheryls still is to you. Traci had a baby 3 March. She was 28 weeks, 2 lb 8 oz. she came home from the NICU 16 May. Such a wonderful blessing and with so many guardian angels watching over her I am sure Larry is her biggest. I know Cheryl is watching and sending you all signs of her love to each of you too. I continue to pray for all of you and send my love to each of you. I, for sure, know the grief from losing a loved one is so devastating and join you in the slow healing process. Gods peace and love to you all.

I miss you so much. Everyone says it gets easier with time. And I am having a hard time accepting that. So much has happened since you left. I finally got promoted, I had another back surgery, I got my dream job at AFPC! The babies are growing up so fast. At least twice a week Ayla will do or say something and the first words out of my mouth are "mom would have gotten a kick out of that!" Ahren is doing ok. Jist started 6th grade. Don't know if I'm prepared for that adventure! I've opened this guestbook permanently so when I want to talk to you I can come on here and send you a message. I haven't really dealt with you being gone. I just kinda pushed it away because there are other people that needed me. So maybe this will help. I hope you're up there watching and smiling at our shenanigans. Love you mom.

I am so very sorry that I've just learned of Cheryl's passing. My heart is broken for her family -- Cheryl was someone I admired greatly -- as did many many others. Hugs and Prayers

To the Basil Family,
I loved Cheryl as my sister. My heart breaks for all of you with her loss. Please know God is with each and everyone one of you as you move forward without her. God Bless you all and provide you with his comfort. My love to each of you.

My heart goes out to the Basil Family. Cheryl is one of my fondest memories from my days with Services. Thinking of her still makes me smile. She had a heart of gold. So very sorry for your loss.

To Ned and the Family, We know that you all are going to miss her greatly. We want you to know that your (Newman) Family from Virginia, will always have you all in our hearts and prayers. Loving you all forever ...

Amber, my heart goes out to you and your entire family. So sad that she didn't really get to enjoy her retirement. Loved how you mom was just Cheryl - no flares, no frills - she was just herself and that was enough. May she rest in peace.

I worked with Cheryl for a short time, but in that short time I admired her. She was the most honest person I knew and she had no problems just being herself. She is definitely a role model to all of us. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. We miss you Cheryl!

To my Basil family - Cheryl was my dearest friend/sister. We all will miss her so much! My heart is broken - I loved her so much! I remember all the good times we have had and watching our kids grow up and have grandchildren.

My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Basil family during this difficult time. I will always remember hanging out at her house with Mary Kay sitting at the table having great laughs. She was a very smart lady that loved her family. I respected her so much and it hurts my heart to know she is gone from this earth. Much love to the whole family...Pam

You were and will always be my dearest friend. I know that we will laugh together again someday; until then I will remember the good times and laugh enough for the both of us and maybe cry a little too. I love you Cheryl Basil.

Amber and Rhonda...my deepest sympathies to you both and your families. My heart is heavy for you. Your mom was always very sweet to me. May God Bless you and your Family and know he is taking care of mom now...Toni Blome

I had the pleasure of meeting Ned and Cheryl when I visited my brother in law and sister in law a few years ago. I remember her as a smart, down to earth and caring person. My deepest sympathies to Ned and the Basil family

It was always a pleasure to work with Cheryl. Her upbeat outlook and sense of humor made her a joy to be around. Vaya con Dios my friend.

Cheryl was a very bright light in this world. She will be missed by all who loved her. I am very glad to have been able to be someone who was given a few years in that light. Prayers to Ned and family. Rest in peace dear friend.

To the Basil family, I pray that God gives you strength during this time of losing a loved one. Cheryl was a loving person that loved her family very much.
She was a wonderful friend and mentor to me. Be encouraged and strong knowing that she is in the arms our heavenly Father. She will forever be in your hearts and all the memories that you share. Blessings

To the Basil Family,
I would like to send love and prayers to you all during this difficult time. Cheryl was an amazing person. She was like no other. She will be missed.

Basil family my prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Cheryl was not only my work mom she was my mentor and my hero!! I would always say to her "when I grow up I want to be just like you" and she would always respond "no you don't", lol, she just didn't know how much I really meant that. Cheryl will be greatly missed but always in my heart.

She was a mentor for many of us at the Services Agency. It is an honor and a previlage to be able to count me among those she helped and guided. Praying for your family,
Faby

Cheryl was an amazing woman. She was truly a legend to us in the Services world. I will never forget the first class she taught me years ago. She was a great mentor and friend. She will be missed by all of us. I am so sorry for your loss...I know how much she loved her family, and those grandchildren of hers and her friends. ♡

Cheryl was one of the most honest people I've ever met, she always said how she felt. I loved that about her. She is greatly missed. My heart goes out to her and her family. Peace be with you.

Basil Family,
My heart goes out to you all, full of pain and sorrow for the loss of an angel. She was a gift to anyone who had the honor to have her touch their life. Thank you for sharing your mother, wife, grandmother, and friend with me over the years. She touched my life in many ways and for her every gentle touch, kind words, laughter, and words of wisdom she is loved! I will miss her!

Cheryl was one of a kind. She will be greatly missed.

During my years at HQ AFSVA, I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl. She was funny, very smart, and just awesome. Her and Mary Kay were always cracking me up! My thoughts and prayers go out to the Basil Family. Cheryl will be truly missed by all.

One of the most memorable people at The Services Agency! I so enjoyed working with her and sharing good times on the intramural bowling team. Her light cannot be extinguished for those who knew her... condolences to her family.

Cheryl you will truly be missed. Had so much fun working with you at HQ AFSVA. Rest in Peace.
