her killer has been found guilty of 2nd degree murder
and is now serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison.
She leaves behind a husband, three sons, a grandson, her father,
and two sisters, her mother recently died on March 9th 2004. We all miss
her terribly!
Cheryl was a person who everyone liked right away, she was very outgoing
and loved a good laugh. She worked hard as a hairdresser and also kept
up her family.
Two of her children are special needs, so she often had her hands full
and faced
many challenges day to day, but she was always there for her kids
and saw to it that they got the best doctors and treatments, she seldom
got
angry with them and never complained about how hard it was.
She often would go to a clients house to do their hair on her day off if
they couldn't afford the salon prices or if they could not get out to
get their hair done. She was an amazing person and our hearts broke the
day we found out she was
no longer with us, and we are angry that someone took away someone so
special.
You
never said I'm leaving
You never said good-bye
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place,
That none could ever fill
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
A part of our hearts
have gone with you,
That can never be replaced
A look, a sign, a laugh
I need
Or just to touch your face
They say that time heals
all pain and sorrow,
And helps us to forget
But time so far has only proved
How much we miss you yet.
