Please accept my condolences. Cheryl and I were both part of a group of friends called the "Sisters of Sottile" at the College of Charleston. I've often remembered her beautiful smile and hearty laugh over the years. God bless you, Cheryl!

The Gadsden and Byrd Families,

Your loss is my loss, too. Cheryl and I have been friends since high school. She was such a loving person. I will miss her laughter and that beautiful smile.

Look up, for God is able to heal all hurt; just trust Him. I'm praying for you.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
