I will miss Cheryl's good nature, and her smile. Being friends since grade school, I could always count on her for a sympathetic ear, and words of advice. I would like to add that I always admired her for putting her children first above all else. She passed along to her children, her love of family, and her work ethic. These are two things that a parent can teach her children in order to assure their peace of mind, and success in this world. Cheryl will sorely be missed. Although we are saddened by her passing, she is at peace now, let us take comfort in that. Love, Mercedes Villanueva (a/k/a Mech)
