Cheri our wonderful daughter she went through a lot in her 55 short years on this earth, she never got to meet her loving father for he was killed in Viet Nam 2 months before she was born. She fought so hard so she could go back home to her loving family but God had different plans for her. She broke all our hearts when she left us, we will never forget her smiling face and the good times at all the holidays which she loved to celebrate with the family.Ava her granddaughter still gets so excited when she sees a picture of her Nana, she was Cheri’s pride and joy, they both loved each other so very much. We all loved Cheri so very, very much. She is no longer in pain.She is in Gods hands now. Cheri will always be in our hearts, for ever and ever! Love Mom (Judy) and Dad(Jim)
