We aware so very sorry and wish we could help take the pain away ❤️ This qoute has been racing around in my head these past few days “You may be gone from my sight, but you are never gone from my heart.’ Winnie the Pooh. Although we meant years ago I am certainly glad of our reconnection! Enjoyed our chats a lot. ♥️♥️????
So very sorry to hear of Cheri’s passing. Others have mentioned her laugh. That’s also the thing I remember most about her. That and her adventurous spirit . . . ready to try just about anything. We were close friends for only a very few years during and after late high school and reconnected while she was in Korea. When I talked to her then, it was like no time at all had passed, even though it was probably 40 years. She was still the joyful, fun-loving person I knew. Deepest condolences to her family and all who knew her.
I send all my love and sympathy to Cheri’s wonderful family. She was my roommate, favorite person, and her presence was very calming. She made me laugh so much. Talking to her was definitely never boring. She loved each and every one of you so much. Her love will never die. It will be with you forever. Now Cheri I love and will miss you my friend. Be at peace now, your pain is gone.
Cheri, you are such a contagious ray of sunshine. Thank you for being a second nana to me at royal rose place! lots of love always!
Our deepest sympathies to family and friends. She will be surely missed to all
