So very sorry to hear of Cheryl´s passing. We would run into each other at the library or walking in town. She always had a warm, beautiful smile! Prayers for comfort and peace.

Cheryl Brady was a beloved friend and neighbor for 43 years! Our children grew up together. Many fond memories of sharing a cup of tea, gardening in our backyards, talking about plants and flowers, children's books and what was happening in our daily lives. We were walking buddies for many years. She loved going to thrift shops and talking about her latest finds.
Trash days were her very favorite and we lugged home many a treasure from our walks. She loved to go blueberry picking, going to the Phillies games and going to various antiques shop on a quest to add to whatever she was collecting at the time. Our family will truly miss your presence Cheryl and will never forget you!
