Singing and dancing with Jesus! How awesome is that! I'll always remember Cheryl as my "uh-huh" girl that took control of Cathy or my desk everytime she came to visit at the office.

My thoughts and prayers are with Cheryl today. Although she will be sadly missed, I know in my heart that she is with the Lord now. She had so many friends that know she is dancing today. Cheryl will always be remembered with a smile on her face.
