Dear Justine and family,

I just found out about Cheryls death and I am very sad to hear this news. I am so sorry for your loss.

As you know, Cheryl was a dear friend to me and I will always remember her lovely smile. Our friendship meant so much to me. She brought me many days of laughter and hope. She was such a good friend to me when I lost my son Scott. She always gave me encouragement and she put her heart into every thing that she said to make me feel better. I will always cherish her memory.
