A beautiful write up for a beautiful lady – she will live on in you, channing and parker
Heidi, Brent, Channing, Parker & family,
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May memories of happier times sustain you now. The love will live on!
I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend part of my life close to Cheryl. As I grew to become a social member of her family, I did what I could to keep her connected to the world she was slowly leaving. Her deep capacity for love, laughter and pleasure brightened my life and the lives of those who knew her. While no longer by our side, she is forever in our hearts. Listen carefully and you will be able to hear her voice singing “How Great Thou Art” among Heaven’s Choir.
I knew Cheri from Boonton High School and the local MYF. We were in high school plays, etc. and stayed in contact when I was in the Army.
A lovely person and I send my sympathies.
A kind and gentle lady. She will certainly be missed. Knew her from Methodist Youth Group and Boonton High School.
