Reading Cherlyn's obituary is a reminder of what a full, rich life she had, with so many who loved her. As a member of the Flok, who only knew her through Pat's, we only got a glimpse of that beautiful life - but oh what a glimpse! She radiated joy and her warmth enveloped us all as she protectively let the others know we were "hers". It will never be the same without her light, but we will celebrate her and how lucky we were to have known that small part of her. No one ever called me "baby" that made me feel so welcome.

I'm a member of the Flok (Canadian sisters' group) We love Pat O's because Cherlyn was there. She was most always our server, but she was much more than that. I am so grateful to have known her.

My sister and niece and myself knew Cherlyn from Pat O'briens. We loved her so much. No matter how much time had passed - every time she saw us she greeted us with a hug and smile. My niece and her husband went to see her in the hospital. She meant so much to us. God bless you Cherlyn. Soar with the angels. Till we meet again. You will never be forgotten! I have attached a pic I took of her on one of our visits!
