Cherie never knew a stranger, always tried to help in any way she could. Literally she would give anyone the shirt off her back. She was a wonderful mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend. She was my sister in every sense of the word other than genetics. She could find fun and humor in any situation coupled with a smile that could light up any room. If there was a need for help she was the first to sign up and made it her mission to see it through. My heart is so heavy with her presence being gone but I KNOW I will see her again in Glory one day. I truly love you my friend. To her family, know I am lifting you all in prayer and love each of you dearly! Please accept my condolences.

Denny, Brandy and Josh, I just wanted to say how much Cherie loved and cherished each of you. She was so excited for the birth of her grandbaby, Hadley Grace. She was so proud of each of you and supported you all the way. I know she will be with you all in everything you do. She was a great wife, mother and sister. I learned so much from her all my life and will miss her terribly. Take comfort in your memories and know she is no longer suffering. Love you all.
