Her beautiful spirit has been an inspiration to everyone that has known her. Sheryl’s lifetime of faithfulness to her Savior has filled her with abundant care, compassion, sweet smiles, glorious laughs, a deep sensitivity to those in need, an enduring love for her family and friends, a glowing love of sunshine, and an amazing ability to cook such wonderful food! We will all miss her so much!
