I'm truly sorry to hear of Cheryl's passing. We went to school together and I have always thought of her as my best friend. We worked together at 16 at Burger King across from her house. She had a beautiful smile and a beautiful heart. Rest in peace my friend

I have known Cheryl since the opening of Va Center. She has been my go to for Clinique since that time. She had the gift of making everyone her friend. She always made my day better so I liked to stop by to say hi and enjoy some conversation. I especially remember when she helped my daughter with cosmetics before a dance. We shared stories of horses, dogs and family. My heart is broken and I will forever miss her. She and her family will be remembered in my prayers.
