Cheri was a close fun friend in high school. We grew up together. Cheri, Judy, Robin, Barb. Many good memories of our younger years. I will always remember her telling us the joke about the wide mouthed frog. She told it perfectly!

Cheri and I were friends since middle school. I was always jealous of her because she was so pretty and fit from swimming all day in their pool. We had a lot of inside jokes from when we were kids. I could still hear her laugh. Oh the times we had. Fly free Bird

I didn't know Cheryl all that well but she was 1 year ahead of me in school and I remember her as a kind hearted, humble lady that always had time to say hi to people. She was a real quality person and I am sincerely sorry for the loss
