May God grant you comfort and the peace that only He can give in the loss of Cheryl. Lean on loved ones and friends as we stand with you in your grief. Sometimes God wants to see His Earthly Flowers up close, so He calls them to Him. This was probably the reason she is safe and out of all pain in Heaven. Know that God loves you and your church family at Bethany loves you too.

Our condolences To Wayne and family. My cousin Cheryl’s SMILE was power and will be deeply missed by us because she was so loved by many. Cheryl knew no strangers because her heart of kindness gave to so many here and abroad. Her smile was so inviting as it lit up rooms as she would enter. That same smile from when we were young and in school together no one could overlook it, you were drawn to it. Cheryl was an Angel here and now she has her wings to continue watching over loved ones. GOD bless you and keep you Cheryl Always.
Dear Toyia,
Your words are so very true. For those of us who went to school with Cheryl, and were blessed with opportunities to reconnect in our adult years, we are deeply saddened by her passing. The sparkle in her eyes and the smile that lit up her whole face didn’t dim with the passing of time, only grew brighter. She will be deeply missed by all of us.
We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our hearts and prayers.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss of your wife and mother. I didn’t know Cheryl for long but what really resonated with me was her caring nature for not just her family but those that came into her life. The one thing I know is her family meant everything to her. Together you will grieve but you will also find the strength and determination to carry on her legacy. Cheryl will be with you for every family moment or caring deed you do for others. God bless you.
We are so sorry for your loss. Cheryl was such a lovely lady!! She was the first person who spoke to me at the Hunter’s Ridge Pool…back in the day!
I will always remember the first time I tasted her bread pudding too! Oh man could she do that!
Our hearts breaks for your loss.
So sorry to hear that Cheryl passed away. She was truly a loving and amazing person. Cheryl was always warm and inviting and made you feel like family. She made the best chocolate chip cookies ever. She will be missed.

Cindy and I send our deepest condolences for your loss. Cheryl will be missed by all of us. She was always warm and inviting and full of kind words. I offer you an Irish poem that I came across which seems fitting: “Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.” Cindy and I pray that your precious memories will carry you through. May God give each of you comfort during this time in your lives.
Cindy and Kevin O’Grady, and Family
