Cheryl, I have so many great memories of all the fun we had when our children were younger. You were always an inspiration to me. You were the best mom and such a great friend. I am missing you, but looking forward to seeing you again in heaven.
Heather and family, my prayers and love are with you all in this special time. Having gone thru this 2 times with my dad and stepdad, I know what you are going thru. If you ever need to talk, just text me or call me and I will be available. God’s love will help you thru this.
My dear precious friend, I have so many memories of our childhood years growing up. The “shows” we would put on for the neighborhood, spending the night well, ok, I always wanted to go home in the middle of the night, I know, playing in the playhouses in our yards..You always wanted to play dolls and I always wanted to play with cars. I hated when you moved across town. Yet, our friendship endured. Because of you & Will, and others who were part of Idlewild’s youth group I came to know the Lord. Even though we haven’t spoken in years, my heart aches in your passing. I know you are in heaven. Say hi to my folks for me. I love you dear friend.
Will Lou & I are so sorry for your loss. We may not have seen eachother for a long time but the memories of the past have always been with us and you and Cheryl are in a lot of those memories. Cheryl was a good friend, a wonderful mother & wife and a tremendous giver to society and this world has truly lost a very special, unique person. Our prayers go out to you and the children and both of your families at this sad time in you lives. But we also Praise God that Cheryl is walking by his side today and is at total peace. May God Bless you and yours.
Love, Diana & Lou

We were so sorry to hear about the tragic loss of Cheryl. What a special lady, and such an inspiration to others. May your entire family find comfort in this sad time. We are praying for you! From your Friends at Hebron Church
To Cheryl’s dear family…I have such wonderful memories of Cheryl and I growing up. From elementary school and playing in the play house in her back yard, to spending the night at each others home’s and through our high school years going to youth group functions Cheryl was a wonderful friend. She was a picture of Christ’s love to all of us that knew her. Although in recent year we did not keep up with each other I always held a special place in my heart for her. But I know that one day we can see each other again! To Will, her children, her Mom, Dad, and brother Doug, I will be praying that the Lord will carry you through this time.
In Deepest Sympathy– The Hillsborough High School Big Red Class of 1977. Cheryl will always be a True Terrier in Our Hearts!
