Cheryl was a co-worker at the Harris Bank. I always enjoyed seeing her because she was such a positive and cheerful person. She always had kind and flattering words to say about either her kids, her family and even her job. I wish her family and loved ones all the best and sincerely mean it when I say that I feel blessed to have known Cheryl.
