I never Cheryl in person, we met online in chat forums and we became good friends. She was a very smart and funny and above all, she had a heart of gold. A few months ago, she helped a young man in Africa a lot, she changed his life for the much better by helping him finish building his home and acquiring a bicycle. You'll be forever missed and never forgotten Cheryl, godspeed.
