My deepest condolences go out to Cheryl's family. I had the honor of working with her. She cared deeply for the children she was teaching. She always went that extra mile for everyone,forgetting her own needs. Cheryl lit up when she spoke of her children and grandchildren. You could tell how proud she was and, she loved sharing pictures of all of them. Our world is a little bleaker because of our loss...the loss of a good friend, neighbor, grandmother,mom and the great caring and loving human being she was. Heaven is glowing brighter because of it's gain. She earned her wings long before she left us. You will be missed dearly Cheryl. R.I.P. You're in the best hands now and forever my friend. I'm happy to have met you, spend time with you and work with you. Til we meet again.

I am so sorry for all of Cheryl's family and friends. It was such a shock to hear of her death while we were out of town. She was a Godly woman of great love and character and she will be sorely missed at our church and among the many folks she brought into her circle and loved on! Watching her with the toddlers in her Sunday School class brought a smile to me many times.

Cheryl was in my OHE class for two years and I dearly loved her. She was one of the top two students that I had that were good in all areas of their lives. We kept in contact for years and although I didn't see her often I will really miss her. Family, you have my deepest sympathy and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Cheryl has always exhibited the grace and sweet spirit of our Lord. Her Christlike character was always visible and encouraging. She could make us laugh, make us think, but always lift us up in Jesus. I know this is not "good-by" but see you later. I'm confident Chuck met her at the gate with a "Bout time, let me show you around." Our prayers are with the family, thanks for sharing Cheryl with us. Someday we too will see her again, and then no more sorrow, no more tears. It's comforting to know Cheryl is in the presence of our Lord.

Gone too soon. It's hard to hear when classmates pass on. I knew Cheryl in school and in deed, as everyone is saying, she was a gentle, sweet soul and shared a beautiful smile. I have no doubt she went on to live a Christian life and raise a wonderful family. Thankful that with God's promise of eternity for believers, we will all be together again someday. I pray God's peace with her family as these days will be hard, try to remember the good times and know she is watching over you all. Rest in peace sweetheart.....

Rachel & Stephen: I am so sorry that your dear Mom has passed. I have no doubt that her Dad and your Dad were there to greet her after she was embraced by God. I truly believe God needs good people to help watch over the ones that need extra help on earth. He indeed took a great woman who always has a smile on her face. Prayers for you, your families, her Mom and siblings. Mother of Mine A day has now come that I always knew would, A day of deep sorrow, never quite understood, For all has stood still in this moment of time, As a women dear to me, this Mother of Mine, Has taken Departure from this world we know, And has journeyed oft' to where no man can go. Though memories still linger as though she is near, Knowing she's gone but still wanting her near, A deep-hearted sadness abounds in my soul, As I ask my Maker, "Will I ever be whole?" A still quiet voice is then heard from within, It brings comfort and peace like a calm violin, "The scriptures I've written for these troubled times," and words from the pages now enter my mind. "I'm here with you child, forsaken you're not, My Son bears witness to questions you've sought. Your hope comes from knowing that death ends not life, For salvation received renounces all strife." Yes, hope of eternity with no end in time, Helps me let go of this Mother of Mine. The Breath of Life in me now declares, My Journey's unfinished . . . Let grief not despair! I'll rise up as His child and share this great hope, And spread this great news so that they too, can cope, With all that robs us of peace, joy, and love, None which is sent from our God above. Yes, I'll let go of this dear one to me, Knowing that upon entering eternity, After embracing the Master Divine . . . Reunited I'll be with this Mother of Mine. by L. P. Waterman John 14:18 says: "I will not leave you comfortless. I will come to you."

Rachel, Stephen, and family, Your mom was a rare gem on this earth! She loved you two and those grandchildren with all of her heart. Cheryl always had a smile for us and her personality was full of sunshine. She loved the Lord so, so much and did the work He called her to do. David and I will miss her, but we know that she is in Heaven and one day we will see her again. That's God's promise. Your family is in our prayers, Sincerely Kim and David Wright

Cheryl has entered her Father's House and has the complete understanding of the passage in John 14:1-4. My relationship with Cheryl started in 1976 when her parents were preschool teachers to our daughter at First Baptist, Ft. Smith. Cheryl always had a smile for everyone and a passion for teaching and guiding little children. I can still hear her laughter. Eddie, Sarah Beth, and I will be praying for her children as they prepare to celebrate her precious life and home-going to Heaven. We are praying God's special grace and comfort for the family and friends who loved this precious and special lady. One day as believers in Christ Jesus we will be reunited with Cheryl, never having to say good-bye again. Heaven gained a special gem of a lady on Sunday as she celebrated her first day reunited with Chuck and her dad in Heaven. Linda

I remember when Cheryl was young and the rest of her family went to First Baptist in Fort Smith. Her mom worked a lot in the nursery with the babies and young children,Cherly always had a quiet spirit and treated everyone with a friendly smile and showed a lot of love for the Lord Jesus Christ. Prayers go out to all her family,especially her mom and sisters. She will be greatly missed. The LORD GAINED ANOTHER aNGEL TODAY.

Prayers to the family, Cheryl was truly the sweetest lady I have ever met. She was close friends with my wife and I am honored to call her my friend also. God needed an angel and he picked the cream of the crop when he called Cheryl home
