Karen Johnson and Family I didn’t have the privilage of knowing Cheryl and her family very long, but what a wonderful bunch they are! Cheryl was always laughing and smiling and her love for her husband and children made her glow. She captured everyones attention when she entered a room, with her beautiful smile and postive energy. She is
truly one of a kind and will be missed dearly by myself and everyone she touched. She has raised her children with a strong sense of self and a loving nature, and although this is incredibly painful for them and Wayne, I do feel they will be ok, knowing she is safe and watching over them.

Angie Szokol For all of us that were blessed to have been a part of Chey’s life, we knew that she is an angel sent from heaven just on loan. I say “is”, because I feel that she is still watching over all of her loved ones.
For me, Chey was like the little sister I never had; we may have been miles apart lately, but she was always close to my heart.
The world will miss your presence, Chey, but we know that a part of you exists in each and every person you every touched. Angie
