Mom,

It’s been 10 years and I’ve never had as understanding and kind of a friend as you. You loved me until

I learned to love myself. You passed away knowing I would be ok, knowing I would survive this earth without you because you helped me find recovery. I just wish I could hang out with you and learn to appreciate the beauty in simplicity. I lost my best friend and my Mother 10

Years ago this week, and I love that you’re with me in spirit but I miss having you in human form. Love ❤️ Jeanne

I have known your Mom for years, and have enjoyed every time we met and exchanged our family’s stories. She was a kind and gentle person who touched many lives. Our condolences to your family.

My deepest sympathies go to all of Cheryl’s family. Ms. Morrison, as she will always be to me, left an indelible mark on my life. She provided my first taste of passion for learning and that was in kindergarten–and I have carried this for 20 years in the classroom. She had such an amazing way with people and touched everyone in such a positive manner. Anyone who was fortunate to have had contact with her will know how much of a hole her loss has created. Please take comfort in all the memories you have and please accept my sincerest condolences. It is such a difficult time; all the great memories will always remain.

Hello Bryan,

My deepest condolences to you and Cheryl’s family.

Thinking of you in this difficult time.

To Bryan, Jeanne, Charmine and Dave,

Cheryl and I had been in touch via email over this past year. She was ever so selflessly asking about my son Ben who is also battling cancer. I admired her strength, her compassion and her acceptance for where things were at. She knew I was homeschooling Ben and she sent me a box of things to help me with my teaching. Both my kids and I enjoyed the goodies. I have such fond memories of being on her family’s farm in the summertime. My brother John and I would often spend a week there and Cheryl would come and visit while we were staying with my Aunt Jessie and Uncle David. She would take beautiful photographs and would always make extra copies so she could share them with us. It is these photographs and memories I will hold and cherish. I am glad for the opportunity to have reconnected. I will miss my cousin, but I know that she is now safe with God and is no longer suffering.

Love, Lynne Hillard (Morrison), Ron, Sophia and Ben

Deepest sympathy to Bryan, Jeanne, Charmaine and Dave. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time.

Hello Bryan, we are very sorry for your loss and send our deepest condolences to you and Cheryl’s family.

I worked with Cheryl in her Grade 2 classroom at A.M.C. just before Jeanne was born. We have fond memories of her children Jeanne, Charmaine and David and also her Mum. Our deepest sympathy to you all. Keeping you in our thoughts & prayers.

Margaret & David Boone and family

Jenny and I send our condolences to all of Cheryl’s family and to Bryan but most of all to Jeanne, Charmaine and Dave. We lived next door for many years and saw you grow from children into adults. You’ve had to negotiate some big issues along your way to adulthood but you’ve come through it all. Our thoughts are with you. Your mum came to visit us a couple of years ago in Kingston and we had a great time together. We will cherish her memory. She was a good person. You are always welcome to stay with us in Kingston, we would love to see you again.

Take good care of yourselves and each other, Dave and Jenny

Charmaine and family, please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for loss of your mom. Hold tight to memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength and remember how much you are cared about. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

What a great picture of your mom. Our family is thinking of your family. Take care

My condolences to the family and Bryan. Cheryl and I spent many a nights dancing and talking and she will be truly missed.

As well as knowing Cheryl from Deer Park we traveled with her to India. We remember well the many discussions we had and her penchant for bargaining. I am sure that there is, in her house, a wonderful carpet from Jaipur.

Our deepest sympathy to Cheryl’s family at this time of sorrow & loss. In particular, our condolences to our dear friend Bryan who dedicated his life this past year to care and comfort his beloved Cheryl.

We are so very sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing. She was a very brave woman who fought a great battle against Leukemia. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. May the Lord grant You His comfort and peace.

To Cheryl’s family: I first met Cheryl many years ago at a meeting of women who were concerned about Issues Surrounding Language and Imagery ISLI. Cheryl always had good ideas about how we could work things out. Her passion for justice was important at a time when the church was moving forward to be inclusive of all. She will be missed. I am holding the family and friends in prayer.
