I know you will be keeping an eye on us down here along with your family. Fly High my Sweet Friend & spread your wings pain free! We will feel your love in the shining sun!
I only knew Cheryl through the Dr. Liu, neuroendrocrine facebook group but that does not diminish the sadness I feel at her passing. She was a fighter and a supporter of others. I know she will b missed by many. Prayers to her family.
Dear Michelle and family.
I’m so saddened to hear of the sudden passing of your Mom.Its been many years since I last saw Cheryl, however my memory of her was always of a smiling, friendly,neighbor who lived for her kids. Our prayers are with you.

I only knew you though the NETs community but you made such an impact on my life. Thank you for the guidance and support, thank you for encouraging me and telling me to be strong. The world is a darker place without you, and I will miss you.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family.
I have no words….except how much you will be missed in our NET community boards. You were one of the first lung NET patients to mentor me, and teach me about this disease we both shared. Your beautiful soul was evident in the calm way you encouraged others when they were having difficulties. Your wisdom and strength were evident in the way you handled your own difficulties. Your love for your family was evident in every post about them. Please continue to look over them as they journey thru their grief. I miss you already, Cheryl Anne….
My prayers and condolences to the family!
Hello~I never met Cheryl in person.We played “Winster” together for years.
(An online game sight.) I considered her a friend, and I loved hearing about her family…She was such a kind sweet lady. May she rest in peace.

The heavens are rejoicing as God’s daughter returned home. We pray for her family to have comfort in her memories and strength from the love she instilled in their hearts. God bless you.

This is so hard to believe because you were so full of life. It didn’t seem to matter that you had your own battle to fight but when my grief hit so close to home you were there for me with comforting words to soften the shock. I never saw you without a smile and a twinkle in your eye when you talked about your Girls and Grandchildren. You will be missed and will remain in our hearts forever.God bless
