A beautiful soul and genuine person who was always so gracious when we saw her. Gone too soon. Cheryl was all about family and hard work. I will remember her laugh and the sparkling her eyes. Rest in peace

In addition to knowing how special Cheryl was through the love and admiration Shannon and Mila had and will always have for her, one of my favorite memories of Cheryl is the joy she brought to many celebrations through her baking. We always talked about how incredible her cupcakes were after birthdays, showers, etc. Last year, to my surprise, she went out of her way to make my birthday extra special with strawberry cupcakes that I will never forget because she was just kind and generous like that. There are a lot of ver lucky angels who now get to enjoy her sweet treats. You are so missed, Cheryl!
