Cheryl was a great friend to me. She was very forgiving to so many. Our township benefited by her years of service on the fire department, as a fire investigator and as a township trustee. Her grandchildren meant the world to her, her 2 kids, her mom and her sisters.
I am thankful our sons were best friends, and God crossed our paths many years ago. Rest peacefully my friend.
