I miss you more and more everyday with every passing second. You took a part of my heart with you. Words can’t describe this feeling I wake up with every morning. Or the countless times life doesn’t feel like reality anymore. Or the feeling when I go to call you only to remember that I’ll only get your voicemail. Thank you for being my mom I could always count on. But more so, thank you for being my friend. 
May we meet again, Mom.

I send my Condolence to the family. The memories are beautiful. My prayers are with all of you.

I love you, Momma. I will miss you always. 🤍

Cheryl  you will forever be missed! I still cannot believe that you are no longer with us anymore! I will forever cherish all the beautiful  memories  we had growing up ! I love you and will always hold onto  those precious memories!  Rest in God's arms  you will forever be missed I love you always!!

My most favorite memory of all. The night that Cheryl got to meet my son Dax. He fell into her arms like he had known her forever and I was so proud to show her the little life I had created. She kept saying “ he is absolutely perfect AP” and my heart melted. She probably would’ve put him in her pocket and took him home if he would have fit. She made everyone around her feel loved and as he grows up I will tell him about the women holding him on his first 4th of July.. one that he won’t remember but one I will never forget.

If there was anyone I viewed like a second mama, it was Cheryl. She was the most selfless person I have ever met. So many memories that I hold dear to my heart have her in almost all of them. She was the kind of person that left a mark on your heart the moment you met her. Her presence made every room she walked in feel brighter. She was a kind soul who made others feel seen and heard. She was the perfect definition of what a mother and wife should be. She was full of love and full of life. Oh how I’m going to miss her contagious laugh and the “Cherbear” hugs that made me feel like I was at home. She left her mark on so many of us that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives and for that I know that I am forever grateful. This is not goodbye this is just see you later. 🪽 ❤️

Just wanted to share this memory of all of us girls together. I believe this was the last picture we took . We were all first cousins. We will miss our precious Cheryl.  Till we meet again in heaven🩷

I will forever cherish the memory of my Aunt Cheryl . We are saying  goodbye to a wonderful woman . Remembering all the good times I had with her when Garrett and I were little , when the girls Shelby and Brandi were  little but after hearing that she passed it was  all the little things that came pouring in . Like how she was my “ Aunt Shell with dem long fingernails “ as I said when I was little , or us all swimming at the lake , us standing in her kitchen eating elbow macaroni and tomatoes or our sugar onions on taco night at Aunt Linda’s , her holding me while I cried when I was just a teenager.  Her stopping in the middle of whatever to run to see me in my prom dresses . Our little joke about me always capturing pictures of her holding a cup because for a while every picture was her holding a cup . Anytime I gave  my kids a bath and I needed them to lean their head back / look  up. I would always tell them to look up up high to the ladybug sky. I picked it up from Aunt Cheryl when the ladybugs wouldn’t stop coming in her bathroom and were on the ceiling and she would tell Shelby and Brandi to look up up high to that lady bug sky when we would be washing their hair . I remember all of this . I remember the small things . I also remember her giving her testimony at church . Her uplifting spirit -All the people whose hearts she has touched . I remember her kind, loving spirit and will always remember her that way . She was such a light . Forever loved and will always be missed .

To know Cheryl was to love Cheryl! 
She was one of the sweetest women I have ever come across. Her laugh and her smile was so contagious. If I could hug her neck one more time and let her know she was more than my friends mom, I would! 
She has a huge part in my life. 
I love you 5 ever!
