A Poem written by Tammy Sue Johnson

Cheryl

From the pitter patter of tiny feet on the kitchen floor

To the knocking, so early, on God's temple door.

Cheryl's life was one, in which we all shared

Good times and bad times, we all were there.

From her potty training-to-her wedding day

Fights in the yard, while all the kids played

Cheryl was the leader, teacher and boss

She was bound to be the one that never lost!

Raised in our yard, Jodi and Jesse to chase...

You'd have thought she was the one that ran the place!

Stevie would watch, listen and learn

His sister was bigger, strong and assured....

"I will protect you, don't worry!" she'd say!

"Now this is the game that we're gonna play!"

Life would move on and it wouldn't be long

Cheryl was married then had Aaron, her son.

He would now be the apple of his mommy's eye

Filling her heart with pride...you can't deny.

No time to give her one last call

Who thought on her Birthday would be the end of it all...

We knew her and Loved her and watched her grow

But now it's sooo hard to let her Go!

May Angels be by your side Forever

We Love You Cheryl
