Cheryl was a wonderful friend. She moved so far away. I wish that I could have been able to be in her company more. We met in church when she lived in COLORADO. I loved her kind and gentle spirit. I loved her family. Peace my friend. See you in heaven.
I have tears on my cheeks… Cheryl was a loving host mother for me. She took good care of me. I learnt a lot from Cheryl and the Plummer family – love, care, happy life, positive thinking, smiling face, always time for everyone, active, wonderful mother. I have only lovely memories.
Hugs for the family!
I had the privilege of working with Cheryl for many years at Fair Oaks hospital. She was an amazing clinician and her compassionate spirit touched many lives. She was so caring with our patients and an excellent mentor to new nurses. Her calm demeanor belied her fierce determination to provide exceptional care to her patients. She was so dedicated to her family and I remember her excitement when each of her grandsons was born! I loved her positive attitude and I know she will be greatly missed.
