My beloved Cheryl... It has been one year since I lost you. Our final moments together, spent in loving conversation until you drew your last breath, are forever etched in my memory. Indeed, it seems as if it only happened yesterday. You were my universe. When you passed, my universe became empty and remains so to this day. But I feel your spirit with me, giving me guidance and comfort. I will love you forever... and I miss you terribly, like the desert misses the rain. xxx ooo - Posted by: Robin Chase (Husband) on: Dec 14, 2019

My husband and I were only able to meet Cheryl a few times but it was easy to love her immediately. My heart is not only with my son during this time of grief but also with Cheryl's sister, Nancy, her family, and with Cheryl's two brothers. It is hard to believe she is gone and yet we know her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. - Posted by: Geraldine Chase (mother-in-law) on: Jan 02, 2019
