Words From Cheryl's Friends on Swap-Bot.com...
"We will always remember Cheryl's kindness and helpful attitude, especially to the new people on Swap-bot. She reached out to me when I was new and was my first friend here. Whenever I had a question about anything, she was there to help. That's how she was with everyone. Truly amazing. Her absence has left a big hole that will never be filled. She touched us all. We love you, Cheryl." ~ runswithscizzors
"The sky and I are crying buckets of water. My tears & the water of the earth, intermingle to become one, inseparable. Only to return in precious form again - as water, tears, rain, steam, mud puddles, waves & streams. We will find you there, just as we always did, just as we remember. There is no separation. All is one whole. We welcome you to a new level of being, just as the flowers of the world welcome the butterfly. Except you are even more precious; daughter, woman, wife, mother, sister, aunt, friend. This isn't the end. Friends are forever, love is everlasting and grief, no matter how deep, is strengthening." ~ myrrhmaid
"Cheryl will always be with us in spirit and in our hearts. Whenever we hear laughter, feel love, hear a certain song that reminds us of her, or create a dotee, she will be there, inspiring us to live, laugh and love. When things seem hopeless, she will be there encouraging us to go on. And when our time finally comes, I truly believe she will be there waiting with open arms." ~ brokenfaedoll
"I'll always remember the clear blue of Cheryl's eyes. And how accepting of other's talents (or lack thereof) that Cheryl was. She accepted my very first and only dotee, after I crochetted it, not knowing if it was "really a dotee" or not. She hugged me via the internet and told me it was beautiful. And that's what Cheryl was. Beautiful." ~ cobaltgypsy
"I will never forget Cheryl even though my time knowing her was cut way too short. When I returned to swap-bot in January, 2009 after being away for several months, I was very down, very embarrassed and didn't even know whether or not I would be welcomed back. Cheryl was one of the first to respond to my forum post. She even pm'd me privately with words of encouragement and welcomed me back with open arms. Now keep in mind, I had never met Cheryl before. She treated me as if I were a long lost friend:)) Cheryl was such a sweet and caring person:))) She went out of her way to encourage me and to lift my spirits and she offered to help me in any way she could. Cheryl was an angel here on earth and she is now an angel in heaven:)))" ~ bettflow09
"my dearest Cheryl, i know you are heading on to your next grand adventure.... where things are wonderful and fun and joyful. and i know that you are seeing those awesome people who have gone on before you that you loved so much. may we all strive to be half the woman and friend that you were. you will be sorely missed." ~ luvcatzzz

Cheryl made such an impact on me. She always reminded me to act with kindness, even when others didn't. To laugh instead of cry, because what happens, happens. To always find a bit of sunshine on a stormy day.
Gone, but never forgotten.

I mourn the loss of a beautiful heart. Cheryl, you made me smile every time we spoke. I wish I were as eloquent as some others are, but this is one of those times when I haven't the words to express how I feel. You will be missed, my friend.

Cheryl, you were there for everyone. Not once did I ever see you ask for anything. Every word you spoke was like a flight of Angels. I never had the pleasure of swapping with you and swapping one of your wonderful dottie dolls. But, my remembrance of you will be filled with warmth and much love for you and your family . Love from Ohio .

Cheryl was an incredible woman who reached out to others with comforting words, when she herself could use some comfort. She was an amazing and strong woman. I'm so relieved that she is no longer suffering and her family does not have to endure the pain of watching her. Now they are free to remember the wonderful Mom and wife she will always be in their hearts.
"Cheryl, my friend...I lift my glass to you and toast a wonderful woman who touched many!"

Cheryl, you were only with us on swap-bot for a few months, and yet you touched so many hearts and brightened so many lives. You encouraged us to "Love Much and Laugh Often", and together we did both. You will be very fondly remembered.

Cheryl was always someone you could count on to be friendly and helpful. She was one of the kindest people on Swap-Bot, always making sure no one was ignored or felt left out. When the "friends" feature was implemented, Cheryl was the first one to request to be on my friends list. She is still right there at the top of my list, and always will be.
I miss her like crazy.

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you,
whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow,
laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Pray smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort,
without the trace of a shadow in it.
Life means all that it ever meant,
it is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity,
why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you
somewhere very near
just around the corner.
All is well.

Cheryl was one of the kindest people I have met online... and one of the funniest. Such an inspiration to myself and many. She is greatly loved and will be sorely missed. :(

The Soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears...............
To Cheryl -
A Lady in a class of her own!!
Ultimate Rose
When I am dead
Let no on bow his head
To talk or preach or pray,
or walk with solemn tread.
Beisde this clay
When I am dead
Tears should remain unshed that day.
When I am dead
I want a rose instead,
Tender and proud and gay
Flaming with rebel red-
To say
Softly , when I am dead,
What can be truly said
No other way.
