To the family of the late Jimmy Cherry, I am truly sorry for your loss. I remember Jimmy from when he was a little boy in Anson Borough (Concord St.). I was a few years older and lived at 301-C Concord St. We also worked together as banquet servers at the Sheraton on Lockwood Drive in Charleston. He was a good person and always very respectful to me. May God give you all strength, comfort, and peace during your bereavement and in the future. Jimmy will be missed by many who knew him. God bless all of you at this time and always. You have my "Deepest Sympathy".

My condolences go out to the Cherry family. Jimmy you will be greatly missed. You became a friend that I could talk to about anything no matter the situation was. I looked forward to being able to talk to and seeing my friend again but that won't happen. I knew you had wings because you had the heart of an angel. I'm still in disbelief that you have left this world for a better life but I'm happy that you no longer have to suffer. You are greatly loved and will be missed. R.I.P Mr. Jimmy Cherry.
