Not only was Cheryl a busy career woman, she was first a loving wife and caring step-mother and sister who loved her family first and foremost. She was a woman of uncommon character, beauty and grace and was a joy to be around. To know Cheryl was to love her. She was a lady in every sense of the word. Being a friend to all, she was a strong yet gentle and loving presence to all who were blessed to know her. Cheryl will surely be missed but treasured memories will forever remain in the heart of those who knew and loved her.
