My Aunty Cheryl was one of the most caring, loving, joyful, wonderful person anyone could ever be lucky to have in their life. I miss her so much and I'd give anything to have her back for even just one more day. I know that she's making everyone smile and dance up there. We gained an angel, and a very beautiful one at that. I'll never forget her, of course it's almost impossible with her name tattooed on my back. I love and miss you Aunty Cheryl. Rest in Peace. - Posted by: Jessi Henderson (Niece) on: Jan 11, 2012

We are so sorry to hear of Cheryl's passing. She was a wonderful lady and we have many memories of time spent with her. She will be missed. Unfortunately we are out of the country and will not be able to attend her memorial service. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. - Posted by: Maureen Burek (Family) on: Nov 05, 2011
