I was lucky enough to be one of the many whose life was blessed immensely because of Cherie. She was the most generous, selfless, patient, compassionate human. Though she had a more quiet demeanor, she was a spiritual giant. She was deeply rooted in her love for and faith in God and her family. My most fond memories of her were just in quality time spent sewing, camping, playing games, bbqing on the weekends, and spending genuine quality family time, no matter what we were doing. When Kylee was a baby, and I was a new mom, I’ll never forget all the late nights I cried, exhausted while holding a screaming baby wondering if we were ever going to make it through the night- and she’d come in (wearing that invisible red hero’s cape) and take Kylee from me, pat me on the arm and tell me to go get some sleep, that she would take it from here. Never overstepping, just knowing when to help and step in. She accepted and loved me in a way that I’d never experienced, and she will forever be an example of the mother, friend, wife and grandmother I want to be. She will forever hold the most special place in my heart. Love her so very much 💙
