My dear, sweet sister. I already miss you more than words can say. I’m glad you are now pain-free and soaring with the angels. I love you always and forever.
Aunt Cheri made me feel like such a cherished, loved member of the family from the very start. I think she made everyone feel that way because it was simply her nature. I loved our phone calls and chats and she had such a sweet, infectious laugh. She was such a kind, loving and gentle soul who amazed me with her calm strength and resilience. Cheri and Bob have been such a bright light in so many lives. Aunt Cheri will always be close to our hearts and we promise to look out for Uncle Bob in her absence. Sending love to all who loved her. Her beautiful spirit lives on in everyone who was blessed to know her. ❤️
My friend Cheri was very special to me. We worked together for for over 10 years. She made such an impact on me. She was a great role model for how to be a strong single mom. She truly is the strongest person I’ve ever met. I’m grateful for her friendship. If you were lucky enough to have Cheri as a friend, you were blessed.
My deepest condolences to all of Cheri’s family & friends. Especially my oldest friend Katie. I’ll always have the best memories of being at your house & your mom always treated me like one of her own. My heart goes out to all of you. ❤️
My dear sister in law, your strengths, courage and don’t give up attitude has inspired us to be more courageous ourselves. To live in the moment and NEVER let a day go by without remembering those we have loved and lost, who we have with us in the now and to be great full for all we have. Will miss you terribly! Rest/ Soar and watch over us. Love you!
Cheri was so sweet and kind.She always had a smile on her face.And she never complained even after everything that she had to endure. I will miss you Cheri.But now is your time to be with Jesus and soar with the angels.
May you rest in peace Cheri. My memories are when we were little kids. Visiting Grandpa and after saying hello, running to your house to play. Also being out at Aut Pat’s farm, family reunions and more.t
Peace and love to the Jackson and Niemeyer families.
