To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. Cheryl & I were members of Atonement Lutheran church. I enjoyed visiting with her through the years as a parish visitor. We, along with Joyce Pingel would take her to lunch & have fun little shopping sprees. Cheryl would always find cool jewelry & purses that she liked. She was a kind person & fun to be around. She will definitely be missed. Hugs & prayers to the family.
I moved to Corinthian 2 years ago. Met Cheryl and the other twisted sisters. They accepted me and I became a twisted sister. I will miss her kindness and love for everyone. You will truly be missed.
My prayers will go out to Cheryl’s kids and family. I always loved her smiles and love of life. I regret not visiting her as it was on my mind. My life is consumed with Dr visits and Physical and Occupational therapy as I’m fast approaching my year anniversary of losing my lower legs. I don’t get much time to do a lot . Every time I saw Cheryl she was so kind and caring and always made me smile. My hope is she is dancing in heaven with her loved ones gone before her . I’ll pray that Chelsea and Cortney will cherish her memories and find peace knowing she’s in Gods care now. Love you , Linda
I am so fortunate, to have had Cheryl in my life. She was such a big part of it.
She brought me love, happiness, and companionship. Our time together was pure joy. So many smiles and laughs between us. We truly touched each other’s heart.
She accepted me for who I was. Nonjudgmental, understanding, and a shoulder to cry on. A smile, or hug when most needed. Together we eased each other’s pains, and fears.
There was a trust, that we would never harm each another. An understanding that overruled misinterpretations.
Cheryl is a beautiful human being. A beautiful woman. Charming personality, and loved by so many. She made an impression on so many lives.
I love hearing her talk about her kids, husband, and siblings. Her face would light up, for the most part, and a sadness when she wished she’d done something different. She truly loved them all.
I am heartbroken, but with a happier heart as a result of her. Thankful again,that she was in my life.
My heart goes out to all those who love her. Speedy recovery; is what she would want. Because she wants you to be happy.
Oh, John, you moved me to tears. Thank you for your beautiful, kind words; much appreciated.
I will miss my next door neighbor, more than I can say. She knew my secrets, no one else knew and she told me hers. We talked about our kids and our dreams for them. She loved Chelsea, Cortney, David and her grandchilden beyond measure. Her laughter was infectious and her sense of humor sometimes pretty warped, but that’s what I will miss the most–that laugh.
