Words are not enough to express my condolences to Cheryl’s family. I’ve known her for many years but become close to all the sweet ladies at Dr Maris’s office when I worked with Dr Merritt & we loved in the joining office beside Dr Maris. Cheryl’s laugh & smile were so uplifting to all those that came in contact with her. She was always the first person you saw when entering & leaving the office. She was truly a friend who was an encourager & you knew her love for her family who she often spoken of. Our hearts are broken but I know the beauty your eyes have seen you would not want to come back. Rest In Peace Cheryl TIL we meet again.

To Tony and the Brown family,

Our loss is heaven's gain and to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

I regret to hear of the lost of your loved one. She will be greatly missed. Just her smile alone would add joy to a person's day.

With heartfelt sympathy,

OMG - I am so sad to hear this! Cheryl was our friend, our encourager, and our favorite greeter at Dr. Maris' office. She always made us feel welcome and special, and she blessed us with her life! We will miss her sweet smile!

Hello Family:

Am I hurt? Words cannot express just how hurt I am. I am reminded of the words in the bible book of Luke 23: 43 and Psalms 37: 10, 11 and 29 (please read) Promises of God that will be fulfilled in the not too distance future. At this time, I will be able to speak to Lay face to face and she will be able to enjoy life to the full.

From my study of the bible, I have learned that God's original purpose for the earth was to be a paradise. Through the Ransom Sacrifice of Jesus, God is going to make sure that his purpose be carry out.

The opening words mention in the obituary (Revelation 21: 4) applies to persons who will live on a paradise earth. The verse continues by saying: sickness , pain, and death will be no more. What a wonderful hope! Just think, living at a time when there is NO MORE DEATH!!

Please, learn more about the wonderful hope by visiting www.jw.org

A very close friend
