Cheryl was my co-worker and friend  for several years. I always admired how she faced challenges with a  beautiful smile and positive attitude. She truly exemplified Christ consciousness and  has helped others in so many ways.   I will cherish the time that I had with her.  

The two things about Cheryl that stood out to me were that Cheryl always had a smile and her violin playing. Even when things were going terribly bad for her, she smiled and had an upbeat attitude. The last time I saw her shortly before her final hospitalization she was so excited about becoming a grandmother.  And she talked about her plans for retirement. Even knowing she was going on stronger chemo, she was upbeat.

 Years ago I sometimes accompanied her when she played the violin, she was so patient with me when we practiced and I made mistakes. She was always so gracious.

TJ, Stefanie and Andrea, you had a sweet, loving mother who we’ll always have fond memories of.  Looking forward to seeing her again in Heaven one day soon!

Cheryl and I had our initial mammograms at the same time back in 2019.  The waiting room was the first time I’d seen her in years    But we used to both attend Winter Springs SDA and so was blessed many times by her violin

I always knew Cheryl’s journey with breast cancer was so much harder than mine.   We would  periodically check in on messenger and would see each other at the oncology office.  I saw TJ at Publix maybe 2 months ago and he said she was doing ok.  I so regret that I had no idea she was hospitalized and terminal.    

Cheryl was always positive and gracious.   Wish we’d gotten better acquainted years ago. We lived just a couple miles from each other and shared being born on May 4.

My condolences to her children.   May God surround you all with his loving arms and bring you comfort and peace.
