I’m so sorry to say goodbye to my friend since kindergarten. She was a very special lady. I wish I could be there to say goodbye, but I live too far away. My heart is with her family. God bless you.
Cheryl was my sister Diane’s best friend. We have a picture of the two of them dressed up for
Easter when they were teens. Gail and I also considered Cheryl one of our close friends. We were happy to visit with Cheryl and Jim during high school reunions. Cheryl was one of a kind. She had a deep alto voice that was unique. Our family will also be eternally grateful to Cheryl.. In our mother’s waning years Cheryl cared for her when emergencies arose. We grieve with you over the loss of a unique ,caring woman.Her voice and face echos in my heart. We shall never forget.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
You have our deepest sympathy. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage and our support at this difficult time. Our heart goes out to you.
