Moriya and George, I was so sad to hear about your mom. Cheryl was a great mom to you guys and I can only imagine your pain. When I saw her last at our hair salon, she told me all about you both and always smiled when she spoke about you two. I can still remember all the times all of us cousins hung out at Yaya's. It was like yesterday and although we dont see each other much now, I am truly sorry for your loss.

Dear Moriya, George, Mr. Sanderson, Heather and loving relatives.
I am very saddened to hear of the loss of Cheryl. We were very good friends in high school and had a lot of fun. When I moved to Tucson, Arizona we lost touch but I often thought of Cheryl and her family. I was honored to have been a bridesmaid in her wedding and remember that exciting day. My sister Patti and I gave Cheryl a bridal shower and I will cherish the memories through the photos that I have. I will make copies and send them to you. I am so sorry and may God bless you and your family. Warmest Regards, Crissy Alexakis Ash.

So shocked and saddened to hear the news of Cheryl's passing. It seems like only yesterday we were neighbors. I remember seeing Cheryl taking strolls to the market along with Moriya and George.
May the lasting memories from so many bring your family comfort at this time.

I'd like to express my deep sorrow at your loss of Cheryl. Cheryl and I were very good friends in Junior High and High School. I was also a bridesmaid in her wedding so many years ago. We kept in touch for many years but sort of went our separate ways as ours lives took different directions but she was often in my thoughts. I spent a great deal of time with the Sandersons during our teen years with fond memories. My best to her children George, Moriya, Father Roy and Sister Heather.

Dear Moriya, George, Heather & all the loving relatives~~
I am so saddened by your loss. I remember Cheryl as a teenager, with her shy smile and sweet mannerisms. Always the gentle spirit, Cheryl was a wonderful mother to Moriya. I'm sorry that we lost touch with one another before George was born. My thoughts go out to you--and I will never forget the pure heart of your mother. It is as though it were yesterday that a petite Canadian redhead came to Camarillo and caught our eye, as the gentle spring flowers do. I am deeply sorry for your great loss.
