One of my favorite photos of Cheryl and her son Aiden.  Helps me remember the good times….

Her beautiful soul will be missed by everyone who knew her. Our hearts are with you all.

How do you write a condolence to yourself.  CHERYL, KATIE, MYSELF AND GRANDDAUGHTER JAYMIE, have this laugh.  It is almost like a cackling laugh.  It always came on suddenly, usually over something kinda funny maybe.   We would laugh so hard that we would get tears in our eyes.  Once Cheryl and I stopped to get a roll on our way to work.  As we were coming out there was another gentleman exiting at the same time, but his zipper was open on his pants.  Cheryl and I got into our car and along comes the cackling laugh.  Unfortunately the gentleman heard us and came up to Cheryl's partially open window and asked us if we were calling him.  
Cheryl stopped laughing just long enough to tell him his zipper was open.  We cackle laughed all the way to work.  that is how I choose to remember my wonderful daughter CHERYL.

I will always remember Cheryl for the warmth and humor she displayed so naturally. I so enjoyed our chats when visiting together and  I will always be grateful for the love and support she gave my Dad. My deepest condolences to the entire Harrington & Garrecht family ❤️

My sympathies are to the family and friends of Cheryl 💔. She was an outstanding mother to her two boys .  She will always be in our hearts ❤️

To RoseMary, Christine, Katie and all who loved her,
I remember the laughter and Cheryl’s dry wit especially when she joined us for coffee breaks in the CECOM bldg. So much to laugh about back then to get us through the day - and she made the days brighter with that big smile. She was an understanding advocate for her boys and I so admired her strength. I will treasure the painted seashells she gave me 2 years ago. One of the kindest people I’ve ever met. As her bff cousin Cindy said, the streets of heaven are paved with seashells. 
Love and prayers to all of you.

Aunt Mary, Tina and Katie and families
So sorry that you are all going though this. The memories I have from our childhood will always be special.
Cheryl and I always had  special kindred as we were the first borns of our families and the power of social media let us check in with each other from time to time. We always spoke of getting together as it has been many years and with the best of intentions but sadly we didn't make it happen.  I am sure she is sharing a few jokes with my mom right now.
To John and family I am so sorry for your loss and keep you in my prayers during this difficult time. May you find the strength you all need.
Love and hugs to you all.
Ann-Marie

Dear Aunt Mary, Tina and Katie, 
It’s with such a heavy heart that I’m sending you this message. While our families have been apart for so many years, I have always held on to the incredibly fond memories of any time spent together. I also admired the beautiful smile all 3 of my cousins had! I know they inherited that from their mom :-)
Cheryl held such a special place in my mom’s heart.  May Cheryl be greeted by Aunt Joni and may they share in some goofy jokes and laughter like the good old days.
To Cheryl’s husband and Garrecht family members, may you all find comfort at this difficult time and may Cheryl’s love and light shine brightly in each of you.
With sincerest condolences,
Theresa Michalski Mayr
