Aunt Cheryl was always a fun aunt. Often when we visited She would take my sister and I to the drive-in movies and buy us pizza, etc. Also, she was always good for joking around, even on people we didn’t know! If you were with Aunt Cheryl you always knew you were in for a great time. Some of my best memories growing up are with the Christian family. I love you and may you Rest In Peace. Bear
My sincerest condolences to all my family that are in mourning of my Aunt Cheryl. I have many fun memories with both Aunt Cherly and Uncle Chris. When I was a kid, I remember the fun times going to their house and making ceramics in Antioch, visiting them in Fairfield often and learning how to make her recipe for chocolate peanut butter balls. To this day it is a family tradition every Christmas, making those. She was a good Aunt to me and she will be missed. Though she will be missed here on earth, she is once again happy and healthy, rejoicing with her mom and dad and siblings that welcomed her with open arms. Feel encouraged that you will be reunited once again as a family unit in the beautiful kingdom of heaven. God bless you all.
I have so many good memories of Cheryl from the time she was seven years old, and with her and Chris and Bud and I. We had a lot of fun camping together, going other places, and visiting with them. We always enjoyed going to their home, wherever they lived. We enjoyed drives with them after our kids were grown. She has fixed us many good meals. She will be missed by many.
