We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Cheryl & our mother were such good friends (Imogene Miller) We lost our mom in July and Cheryl was there for her-we like to think mom was there to welcome Cheryl home. We pray for your comfort.
At this time, the family is suffering a great loss and the community friends like me suffer as well. I will always remember her as a gentle, kind hearted woman who had compassion for people, never having a negative view of anyone. She saw the best in people and always treated me as I was one of her family. She set the example to follow in life when making friends, supporting those in her community, an honorable and loving mother and certainly a true Christian faithful to her creator. I attended church many times over the years with her and she was always an encouraging believer who fought the good fight and kept the faith. I will miss her dearly.
Today and for evermore she dances and sings with the saints, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.
You have my deepest sympathies. My heart go out to you in your time of sorrow. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.
She will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
I am so heartbroken to hear about Cheryl’s passing.She is one of the nicest people I had the pleasure of knowing.Anthony,Andrea&Cody you All are in my thoughts and prayers. GOD BLESS AND BE WITH YOU.Love,to you all,Linda Taylor&Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We pray that you find comfort in knowing that Cheryl now has wings! Fly with the Angel’s Cheryl!
Dear Tony, I’m so sorry to learn of your wife, Cheryl’s passing. I didn’t know her but liked you very much during the short time you and I worked together at Jefferds in St. Albans. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of grief. In the Beatitudes, Jesus preaches that the weary and broken-down are the ones who will truly experience God’s blessings. He singles out those who are mourning and grieving as people who will receive comfort from God. Cast all your cares, grief and burdens on God and He will carry you through.
God Bless and keep you,
Mary Williams

Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, And I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.”
I pray God showers your family with mercy and comfort through these dark days ahead. May you find peace in knowing she is with her Lord, alive for all eternity, no pain, no sorrows of this world! To my dear friend Anthony & Codye, please call if there’s ANYTHING I can do! Love to all!
Sincerely, Amy Damron & family
