I remember when I met you at the museum. I worked with one of your dearest friends! I got to know you through that connection. I enjoyed every time I came in and we’d visit. You were one special lady! My prayers go out to your family and extended family that they find peace in Christ.

My condolences to the family during this difficult time. Cheryl was so nice and sweet and selfless. We met in Junior high. She always considered others no matter what the cost. She always wanted you to feel like you were part of the group or family. RIP my love. Will see you again.
Love, Kirona

For Ten years I have made trips to the museum for work. I can count on one hand the times she wasn't there. More than once I lost hours in chatting with her. We talked about life, work the museum and everything else. She will be greatly missed.

I've known Cheryl for years, during our childhood we would go to each other houses for birthday and to play. We went to Airport Elementary Scool, Runnels Jr. High, & Big Spring High School. Later in years we shared recipes and reminiscing about the past. She will be missed but never forgotten.

Cheryl, i’m kind of lost for words, well I know you’re in heaven . A lot of people don’t know our friendship goes back into our childhood to church immaculate heart of Mary, I still have memories of us playing on the merry go round after church Jeff not listening to your mom and dad but we always had fun after church. Life went on we grew up grew up on Gregg Street. Like everybody else and here in there and will leave it at that. Which is not bad it was just growing up and not having fun. Maybe this is too much info lol I don’t know but it’s all clean innocent fun as friends do growing up. How many years went by and Gerald told me he was working at the museum so my daughter and myself went over there and we visited for oh my goodness forever which is very special I loved every second of it. As we sat there in flashback and my daughter sitting there listening asking questions and stuff it was really nice. And here we are, I know you’re happy give your mom and dad a hug for me and your brother Jeff. May the Lord open the gates of heaven and welcoming home reunite you with your loved ones your family and your friends. I asked the Lord for this blessing upon you and your family here on earth Frank and the boys and your brother’s. May the Lord bless you always and keep you safe may he bless your family here on earth and keep them safe as one day all roads will cross again until then turn up the music. And find out who’s got the best tacos. I will miss you dearly, love you always.
