Our deepest sympathy.
Cheryl was a great sister to me. I am very sad to lose her but did not want to see her suffer any longer. I know she is at peace and with her God. She truly will missed by those who knew and loved her. She loved her family with all her heart and soul. I am sure she is an angel in heaven looking over all of us.
God’s speed my dear sister!
Max, you have our deepest sympathy on the loss of Cheryl. We have many fond memories of camping with the two of you after we both became charter members of Bureau Valley Sams.
What a giving person of her time and talents. Cheryl is a great example of the phrase “good people”. St. Patrick’s will miss her.
Dearly Missed…she was a great women and friend..I will miss my “sheffield grandma” and some one who always stood by me and loved the Lord and His Church. RIP
