I knew Chey many years ago as a “ballet mom” and from our girls’ skating lessons. More recently, we saw each other occasionally at karate events. I liked Chey from the first time we met and always looked forward to chatting with her and seeing her bright smile. Chey was a loving and supportive mom. My thought are with you all at this time.. Sincerely Lisa Simonok
My thougths and prayers go out to you and your family at this time.
Cheryl, though we did not know you very well you made quite the impression on our entire family when we had the pleasure of meeting you one summer not too long ago. We know you are in a better place and it is with our heart felt sympathy that we hope all the happy memories that you had with your family now comfort them.

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.
Our love and prayers go out to Wayne and the kids and extended families.. The loss of their loving and careing Wife and Mother came way too soon.

To Wayne, Kira, Nash and Cassidy – please accept our sincere condolences at the loss of our beloved Cheryl. We will remember the friendly smile, big hugs and the humor Cheryl loved to live her life with, and the “come on in and we will have tea” with her greeting. We have all learned from Cheryl the love of family and friends and will always remember to live our lives with lessons and examples of integrity from her. Cheryl’s love will be in our hearts forever and we are blessed to have known her. Cheryl’s love is a reflection in her husband and children and how they made the journey over the last two years as a family.
