37. Wow. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, and I’d like to say I wonder who you would be.. but I know how amazing you were, and I know you’d be the same now. You left heart prints on everyone that met you, and we carry those with us always. It’s not fair, and never will be, but I am privileged to say I know you, and I’m beyond blessed I get to see you in your Mama every week now. I know you’re watching over all of us and you’re with two of the best people I know. ❤️ We definitely miss y’all down here. ❤️

Today is Cheri's 37th birthday, I ordered balloons from dollar tree the other day. Me, Aaliyah, and Aniyah are going to get them this afternoon. We let them go in front of the store last year. I think we will do the same thing this year. Love and miss you.

I ordered 19 balloons that I will pick up today. Yesterday I saw Aimee, Aaliyah, Aniyah, and Stella. Aimee said the girls probably don't know what tomorrow is. Aniyah said that she did.. I told them that I would be over to pick them up about 1:00 today. We will go to her grave site and let them go. The girls said that was fine. I love you and miss you a whole lot!

Cheri, I usually get a few balloons to let go into the air on this day. I went to Dollar Tree to get them this year. April was working.(So was Jo.) I told them that I wanted 20 this year. April asked me how old you would be. I told her 36. She looked at Jo and told me that they would pay for 16. So I have 36 balloons to let go. The girls are coming over here to let them go. There are to many trees to do it in their yard. Aimee is going to be with them, too! I love and miss you so much! Enjoy the balloons!

Today is always a real hard one. Cheri you have some beautiful nieces. Sometimes I wonder how many grandbabies I would have if you were still here. I know that you would of given me some beautiful ones, too. You walk with me every where  I go. That is why I know that I am safe. You and God do a very good job!I bought you some flowers but I couldn't get them to your grave site. Aimee reminded me of something. You are not there. You are in heaven watching over us. So I put the  flowers in a vase and they are on my dining room table.They look beautiful, just like you. I love and  miss you very much.

We lived in different neighborhoods so we ended up going to different high schools after our last year together at Kekionga. Middle school was such an awkward time and I didn't take many friendships away from those 3 years but Cheri would always stop by my parents house whenever she was in our neighborhood. I used to love to laugh with her. She always made me feel remembered so I will always remember her. I miss you my friend.

Well, time does not stop and life goes on forever in the spirit and I look for the day I will be joining Cheri praising our Lord and Savior Jesus. Cheri took a stand for her Jesus and it costed her life here on this earth but she is living for evermore for eternity. Use this tribute to spread the Gospel as this would be want Cheri would want.
Missing Cheri but I am very proud of her testimony for Christ.

I remember so many memories and as I grow older and wiser, I understand why most people hate the people involved who did this to you. You missed out on being a Mom, a Nurse, a Wife, and left all of your family and friends wondering what could have been. Today does not feel like we lost you Fourteen years ago. It feels like yesterday that I would see you at Great Grandma and Gramdpas at an Easter egg hunt, or driving with Grandma and Grandpa to Silver Lake, or Fawn Forest campground. I enjoyed going to Winterfest and Church Camp all seven years with you. I miss talking to you about whatever we wanted to talk about

I just wanted to stop by and say I never knew Cheri but when I heard the story in 2002 i was so disgusted I was mad, sad, not happy...gave me chills. You all have been in my prayers for a long time and to this day I wish all of them would get the death penalty they all participated they all should die like they did her. Cheri seems like your in a better place with your father...rip

Still missed

still remember living on Hustes St. In the apt. Above her when she was born , life is full of all issues and I just want to remember the good things.


Us girls n boys n prayers

January 30, 2014

I remember thinking we were so cool (which we were) because we were cousins going out with brothers. You and your bandana...you and your bellbottom type jeans...you and that tie dye shirt from church camp. We thought we were in love with those boys. We had our fights and drama with those boys. At Funspot (now closed) we went riding on the roller coaster that went upside down until we almost threw up. I remember you screaming, you definitely had some lungs. My best memories are at Third Street Church of God and summer camp. I would tell you how jealous I was of you having both your mommy and daddy together still since I never had that and I wondered why you still called them mommy and daddy. Most awesome thing about you was your smile and your ability to enable others to smile since yours was contagious. Even when your mommy and daddy broke up and changed your life forever you still were hopeful of your own future even if you douced your hurt with the things of this world. My last memories were of us laughing and making music with our friends who murdered you. I'm so sorry. I felt like you would always be around because you were family and I didn't think you were going anywhere. If I ever went to the altar and prayed, you would pray for me. I would turn around and hug you. I just can't wait to do that again. Say hi to your daddy for me because I miss him too. Love you cuz ♡ Teia
