Yesterday

The pain felt when you left was beyond description. The joy I´m feeling knowing where you are is also beyond description. The life you lived and shared here on earth was exemplary. You touched so many - you taught so many - you loved unconditionally. You always left me and Penny with, "should I experience memory loss, remember I love you." At Christmas you, Penny and I exchanged mismatched socks as well as other little trinkets. Peas in a pod necklaces. You are celebrating with Jesus and I am so grateful you are free of pain. See you soon, dear Cheryl. You are greatly loved - remember!

Yesterday

Cheryl has been a dear friend for almost 30 years. She was so accomplished in her career and her calling. She touched so many lives and her inspiration will be with us forever. We shared many laughs and good times during our many lunches, shopping and afternoons watching movies. She will always be in my heart and missed deeply.
