Chey,
I wil always remember you as a “happy” person. You were always smiling. To you family I say “With time once more the music will return to your hearts, and with the music the fond memories that made you smile”. Vicki Blogg
Thank you Chey for all you have given my family and myself. For being such a fibrant part of our family and putting up with my brother for those many years. But mostly, thank you for those three beautiful children you have graced us with. They will carry on your legacy of love and cheer.
Wayne, you are my hero but alas I must share you with your kids. Your strength of character and very positive outlook will carry them through this. Don’t forget we are here to carry you when you need.
Kira, Nash and Cassidy, you are wonderful children and we know you will all do your mother proud. We are here for you always.
Wish we could be there with you tomorrow. Our thoughts are with you and our love.
Love
Apirl, Hilary, Malcolm and Meagan
Wow I have been stuggling how to put this in words.Cheryl and I met when we lived on Blackwood street.Growing up from hopscotch to boys and everything inbetween.They say our past is a big part of who we are today and Cheryl taught me so much like always finding the good in everything and everyone.I am so sad our paths did not cross for so many years even though finding out she was so close to people I knew.I am so glad I had you in my life growing up and my heart goes out to your husband,kids,family and friends.My family also sends their thoughts and prayers.
Love Kim.
