I remember Cheryl from school and as my savior when she was a police officer. I had a newborn and an injured toddler at Schultz Park. We had walked. My toddler needed stitches. Cheryl happened to come by in her squad and saved the day. She loaded all of us in her squad and got us home. It was wonderful to see her then.
She had a very sweet sole. Prayers for her family.
