I met Cheryl almost 9 years ago at La Fiesta, we shared many, many laughs together and enjoyed chatting about sports too!
I will always remember Cheryl as a kind and giving woman.
My thoughts are with her family.
Sincerely,
Katie K.

My heart is so very broken!
I love you so much!
I will never forget your voice and the last words I heard. I will hold hold them close and recall them often. I will remember how you got Brian and then John to give you ice chips when you weren't suppose to have them but you were Auntie and they wouldn't deny you.
Nor will I forget how your concern for me above your own self when you told Chris "Take your mother home". You knew I didn't want to leave you but you were concerned about my health. You always put others before yourself!
I love you, ALWAYS and FOREVER!
