"My Cheryl" was what my husband would say as he went through his steady decline and eventual passing. His mind was not always clear and when we went to the hospital for his often needed bloodwork he would not let anyone touch him but "my Cheryl" because he said she was so kind to him and always tried not to hurt him. She was like an angel to us during one of the saddest times of our lives…Her smile, her gentle touch, compassion truly made her one of God's special people. My condolences to all of her family and prayers for strength to make it through this difficult time.
Aunt Betty, Gayle, Chad and family. So, sorry for the loss. I have so many fond memories when we were children. She was a beautiful soul and heaven has gained an Angel. Wish I could be there with you to celebrate her life. Love and Prayers to all. Jeanie
