I am so sad to hear of Cherekee's passing. She was a best friend of mine for several years & we just lost touch with each other. She was so much fun to hang out with & had such a sweet personality. Rusty & I rode to Salisbury in June to see if I could remember where she lived but could not find her. My dearest sympathy goes out to her family. Thank God for the fond memories I have with her.
