"I am sorry to hear of the passing of Cher. Last year she reached out to me after the passing of my husband Bill Worner, also 49 years old. You can see the love for her family on her face in the beautiful video tribute. My deepest sympathy, Kelly Schlueter Worner"

"Our prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow. May God Bless you Marlene, Jake, Jackie, spouses, children and grandchildren. He holds your pain close and comforts all. Cherie is now at great peace and full of happiness. I will always remember the "little girl days" and her laugh. It was contagious."

"I just received the news of Cheryl's death and I send my deepest sympathy and love to Cheryl's family. I have not seen Cheryl since we were kids but her smile is the same and she looks just like her mom, Marlene. It is sad that we never got together again through the years. My love and sincere sympathy also to Cheryl's mom and dad, Jake and Marlene. I have not forgotten you -- my mom, Helen, talked of you often and loved you much. Losing a child is very hard and difficult. I will keep you, Cheryl and her family in prayer. May God bless you all with His peace, love and many graces during this sorrowful and difficult time. Love, Denice"

"My thoughts and prayers are with all of you."

"Dear Steve, Trisha, Michelle, Sam, and Mackenzie, I have been thinking of Cher and all of you alot. I love you all so much and I was blessed to have been such great friends with Cher for so many years. I will miss having her here by me in person, but know that she watches over all of us and is never far from our thoughts. She touched so many people and wanted only the best for everyone. "Good friends are like stars, you don't always see them, but you know they are always there." She is with all of us. Much love to you all, Beth"

"We are so sorry to hear about Cher. We only met a few times, but she always had a fun personality people enjoyed being around. You could tell she truly loved her family. It's very difficult to lose someone you love so much, hang on to all the wonderful memories you have of her. "

"We were kids the last time I saw Cher but her quick smile remained the same! What a gift she was to those who knew her. My prayers are going out to all of you."

"Trisha I did not know your mom, but do know you and what a great mom you are, and it sounds like you had a wonderful mom. She will be missed by all of you, just remember the wonderful times with her and be sure the grandchildren know how great she was. My kids and I are so sorry about the loss your family has to go though at this time. take care and be there for each other at this time. from sandy, tim and becky"

"We're so sorry to hear about Cher's death. We have so many fond memories of times spent with Cher--way back to 7th grade. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family."

"My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Cher will be remembered for her kind heart."

"To Cher's family, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Cher was such a nice person. I remember always being so friendly in school. We saw eachother several times since school, I we'd always stop to chat. The last time I saw her, which was earlier this year, she told me of her good days and her bad days. But, she told me she was going to fight til the end. I pray for you all, especially during this holdiay season. God be with you."

"Sam and Mackenzie you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. So sorry to hear of your loss."

"My deepest sympathy to Steve and family for your loss. Cher was such an inspiration. She was always so thoughtful of others, even when she was in pain and fighting her greatest battle. She knew what was truly important in life, family and friends, and we will all carry her memory and loving spirit in our hearts forever."

"To Cher's family~ You have our deepest sympathy. Just know that our thoughts & prayers are with you. Vern & Darlene Bartelson"

"Dear Sam, We are so very sorry for the loss of your Mother. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family and this most difficult time. Take care and may you find peace. God bless you all."

"Rest in peace, we love you!"

"Her time among us was not long, but there is peace where she has gone., Rest easy for her happiness awaits, as your precious angel passes through Heaven's gate. Think how she must be wishing, that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness, can really pass away. And think of her as living, in the hearts of those she touched....for nothing loved was ever lost, and she was loved so much."

". Blessings to all family and friends in this time of sorrow. We all will certainly miss you at our girl gatherings, but we will never forget you ever! Cher is now with the Angels instead of wearing one on her shoulder."

"Steve and family, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your wife, mother. Hold tight to your memories and remember how much she loved you all. Keep your family and friends near you at this time. They all love you and are there for you. She is now your angel above watching over you all, she is at peace now. Will keep you all in my prayers and may God be with you all."

"I would like to extend deepest sympathy to all of Chers' family. She was a very wonderful person and I am sure she will be deeply missed by all of you. I will always remember her beautiful and continuous smiles and her kind heart. She was not only beautiful on the outside, she was beautiful on the inside as well. She was one of the nicest people I have ever known, and I will miss running into her occasionally and being able to chit chat with her. My life has truly been blessed to have known her. May she rest in peace with the Lord, and may the Lord Bless and comfort all of you."

Cher was a true fighter and an inspiration to so many people; she was a joy to work with and settled for nothing less than excellence. -- "If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, we'd all walk right up to heaven and bring her home again" --"

"My deepest sympathy to your family. Cher was the strongest person I have ever known. She always had a smile for her family and friends even though she was in extreme pain. She always thought of others rather than herself. Cher will be greatly missed but never forgotten! Rest in peace my dear friend! God bless all of you and let Him help you through this most difficult time."

I will treasure the many long discussions that we had. May she rest in peace. Memories will last a lifetime."

"Dear Steve and family, I feel very lucky to have known Cher and will always admire her for her determination and courage. She loved her family so much and talked about all of you whenever we talked, which was pretty often! I feel like I know each of you and I am sure I can see her in everyone of you. She taught me many things about being a survivor, and reminded me not to take the people in your life for granted. Michelle, she was so proud of you. Sam, she loved watching you play sports and admired the man your are becoming. Kenzie, she thought you were an intelligent, strong, and gifted young lady who was alot like herself. And Tricia, she cherished the trips she took down to Texas to see you and her grandbabies. She talked about what a great mom you are and was also very proud of you. Steve, you have been by her side throughout. I saw how much love you and Cher had for one another. Cherish all the good times you had, I can remeber a few just from the retreat! Cher felt your strength on days she didn't feel strong. I know that she is looking down on you all and would want you to be strong for one another and cherish each other. For those of us who knew her in the clinic, she brought light into our world with her smile and spirit. I shared laughs and tears with her and will always cherish them. Please know that I am thinking of you and want to extend my sympathies as her loss has been felt by many."

"Dear Steve, Tricia, Michelle, Kenzie and Sam, Let me start by saying how truly sorry I am for the loss of your mom and wife. We are all truly blessed to have known her and were able to make some wonderful memories with her. She will be in our hearts forever and will never be forgotten. All the times we shared together will be cherished memories for me, I am honored to have been her friend. Please hold each other close in the days to come and find comfort and strength in the love of family and friends that surround you at this very difficult time. If there is anything that you need from us we are always here for you. Take care and God Bless you all. Love ~The Kramers"
