The Rackley kids and the Lee kids grew up together in the neighborhood. I lost my sister, Linda on the same day as you lost your sister, Cheryl. I said we played together as kids and now we grieve together as adults. She was a beautiful girl. She will surely be missed. So sorry for your loss. Love in Prayer for your family.

I'm in shock learning the news of Cheryl. A beautiful person & always made beautiful comments on my Facebook posts. I knew her in high school & worked at the same company for a short time. My prayers to everyone. God is taking good care of her.

My dear cousin Cheryl had the most beautiful and everlasting smile. There was never a time that she didn't have a smile on her beautiful face. She was such a wonderful, fun loving, caring individual that will forever be missed by many. She touched many with her care and compassion. May the lord be with Sasha, and her brothers and sisters.

A real shocker to hear of this, the day after this happened. For 3 days this really played on my mind heavily, with very saddened heart. It still seems so unbelievable, and at such a young age. We pray for her family and may God be with you all. I (Joey), attended high school with Cheryl, and even over the years later (through my employment - searching medical records)saw her on her jobs at Dr. Masri's (many times) and Dr. Smith's - we would have long conversations and "catch up." She was always a good friend, "smiling face," always seeming to have a positive attitude about everything. I recall when she first received her daughter, how happy she was "smiles ear to ear", and seeing and talking with her with her child present - in a child carrier, over the years later, and our latest long conversation, when Sasha had turned 20. How the years pass. My wife and I had seen Cheryl many times in and around the community over the years. We are both appreciative of our pleasant conversations with her, and recall how she loved her daughter and spoke highly of her, and her family. She was a very pretty person (inside and out)and a wonderful friend. Again, may God be with her Family at this very difficult time.

Dear Sasha, your mom was a friend and she would walk with you, while your were on your bike. You loved playing with my black Lab, near her Mom's house. I wish for you strength in the coming days and weeks.

You were always the bright light in every room. Will surely miss your beautiful smile. You were the most caring person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Thank you for always asking about my mom and sister and for the visits to the hospital to see them both. It meant so much to them that you took time to visit with them and brighten their rooms with flowers.RIP
