Charlie and I met Chey and Wayne before they were married on a fishing trip. They have been a part of our lives ever since even though it is long distance. Chey’s joy for life filled her letters to us, sharing her family with us. When we spoke on the phone it was always with a happy voice and a laugh that could brightern anyones day and a very positive attitude toward life. We will miss her desparately but we know she is still here with all of us in spirit. On our shared birthday I’ll always think of you. With love, may God bless you all.
Love, Linda and Charlie

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

Dear Wayne and family, I am so sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing. She was a beautiful person, and I feel honoured to have been included in her ring of friends. There are few people in life that I have ever met that were such a ray of sunshine. She was a real sweetheart. I am so sorry that I cannot attend her service this weekend, as I am out of the country on training. I may not be at the service physically, but I will most certainly be there100% mentally in support of you and your family during this difficult time. My sincerest thoughts, Scott West
It is with a heavy heart that we send our prayers and condolences to the family.Chey was a wonderful person.we loved her and she will be rememdered. wish we could be there.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Wayne and the rest of the family during this difficult time. Although I never had the opportunity to meet Chey, I have heard nothing but great things about her. My hope is that you hold on to the memories you shared as a family and take comfort knowing she is at peace and suffers no more. We will continue to pray for your family and please know that you are loved by your cousins who cannot be there with you at this time.
