It was an honor to have called Cheryl our close friend for the past 45 years. Miles may have separated us but a phone call let us hear her kind voice. She always spoke with loving and caring words especially about family. Heaven just got brighter when she and John meet again. We will always cherish our time knowing you.

So very sorry for your loss. Cheryl was a kind and sweet person who will be remembered by many. Cheryl and I go back to the Jones’ Drive In era. Her father and mine worked together at American Oil Co and would often share a beer or two at Jones’. Since it was a basically a grocery store, the families were often there. Your family will be in my prayers.
So very sorry to hear this. Cheryl was such a kind, giving, thoughtful person.
It has taken me several weeks to process the loss of Cheryl. I still haven’t fully because she’s not someone you just immediately accept that they are gone. But I wanted to write down a few things that try to summarize just what she meant to me. Cheryl was my great aunt- I don’t know how many people can genuinely say they had a meaningful relationship with their great aunt- But that’s just how special she was. If you were her family you were important to her no matter what role you played in her life & she wasnt shy about letting you know it. Every year for the last 30 years of my life she always sent me a birthday card in the mail. I always thought that was one of the most thoughtful things in the world. Something so small that always made my day when I opened it. I have saved every card she ever sent to me in my adult life.
We also shared the exact same wedding anniversary. I had no idea that we shared the same date until a few months before my wedding, & soon after I learned that my wedding day would be her and my uncle Johnny’s 50th wedding anniversary. I felt horrible after learning this knowing that was a huge milestone for them and told her that I completely understood if they couldn’t make it & she assured me that they wouldn’t miss it for the world. I felt so incredibly grateful that I decided to surprise them both at my wedding with a 50th anniversary cake & their own special dance that still to this day when I think about it makes me cry tears of happiness.
I only got to see Cheryl a few times a year for family gatherings but every time I was around her she made you feel as if no time had passed. She was always so supportive & proud of everything you did. When I think of her all I see is her infectious smile & upbeat personality bursting with joy & love. The morning I learned of her passing I was on the last day of an 8 day cruise headed back to Galveston,TX- a city I will forever cherish memories with family in because of Johnny & Cheryl. I got up and walked to the balcony and stared out at the open ocean and said ‘Fly high Cheryl, I know you’re with Uncle Johnny now’ I still cannot believe she is gone. Madison said it perfectly- She is someone you thought would live forever- but she will still live on in all of us. I will miss her so deeply. Because of her I am blessed with the most incredible family anyone could ask for. Someone like her comes once in a lifetime, & I am so lucky to have been on her wavelength. Until we meet again Cheryl. I love you ❤️ Love, Kristi
