Diana I was sorry to read of Cheryl's passing. I remember the wonderful time our Sunday School
class had at her camp on Caney Lake many years ago. What a generous lady she was to share such a beautiful place. I know she will be missed.

We met Cheryl when she joined Noel United Methodist Church and became a member of our Sunday School Class. Though we only had a short time with her, she was a wonderful fit for our group of inquiring minds and we valued her friendship. She will be missed.
