I am so sorry for the loss of your wife, mother grandma and friend. Craig, I worked with Cherryl at the Courthouse and remember when she invited the office to your campground which she loved so much. She was a fabulous cook. I remember coming to a “cooking” party at your house..you could feel the love in your home. I am so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs love and peace as you recall the beautiful memories in your heart ❤️ Sue Weaver

Prayers to Craig and the family from your breakfast and Northeastern High School friends in Manchester, Pa. I personally grew up with Cheryl and her family in Strinestown, lots of memories from our grade school days. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and we know that Cheryl is now at peace with her Saviour.
