"I just learned of Cheryl's passing and it's haunting to me she's no longer with us. I met Cheryl in a ladies group and we shared many of the same traits (favorite foods of course!) and became quick friends, tho we only saw each other at the different lunches, and maybe "Blunco" when I subbed. She always had a smile and kind word. My condolences to her family as you bear this big void in your lives. "
In loving memory of
Cheryl Lee Coleman
