My wife and life partner Cheryl Perkins Williams passed away on 6/20/24. We were married for 38 years. Losing Cheryl has been by far the toughest loss I have ever endured. In the days leading up to her passing we had many conversations. Cheryl was deeply troubled by loosing those she cared for and loved. I explained to her that she will not be losing us as she will always be with us all. It is we who will lose you until we meet again. I take great comfort knowing this helped ease her burden so she could spread her wings and go find the peace we all know she deserves. It also eases my burden knowing my wife can finally rest in peace. It´s important to keep Cheryl in our hearts and thoughts as it to will over time ease all of our burdens.

Till we meet again my love, rest in peace !
