Cheryl was a woman I admired. I was grateful for her example of mothering. She was unassuming and diligent. I believe Cheryl will be very comfortable in the presence of her Father in Heaven and her Saviour Jesus Christ. She will recognize them because she has become like them. I look forward to the wonderful reunions we all can have has we pass through the thin veil between this earth life and heaven.
