Condolence From: Carolynne and Timothy Rose, Grove City, Ohio
Condolence: Cheryl you were always the bright light that would shine through and through. You and Judy were wonderful friends and had helped us in so many ways. We will always remember your magnetic ability training and handling the beautiful Collies. The Rainbow Bridge is a happy place today as I know the Collies were overjoyed to see you! Rest In Peace my friend. Until we meet again. Timmy and Carolynne

Condolence: Cheryl was the original dog whisperer. She had a way to connect with the dog's like no other. I can only imagine the dogs running to getting to Cheryl as she crossed rainbow bridge as she entered Heaven. I am sure they made Cheryl's relatives wait until they greeted her first. Cheryl was such a wonderful friend and always there to encourage and teach. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Heaven gained a beautiful soul . Until we meet again. All our Love to you Cheryl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Condolence: Cheryl will be missed by so many in the Collie World! She was a lovely lady, one that we all looked forward to seeing each show season! I'm sure she is running around the ring with those Collies that went before her. Deepest Heartfelt Condolences to Judy and family!!

Condolence From: BiBi Bennett, Stanhope, NJ
Condolence: Only met Cheryl briefly at a Cleveland dog show and had dinner with her and her collie peeps. She vouched for us buying a pup from her friend just having heard us speak about our collies for a few moments. I sensed she was someone who made friends quickly and was fun to be around. Sorry I didn't get to know her better. This quote from Albert Payson Terhune is how I envision all of us collie lovers when we go over the Rainbow Bridge at last...Rest well, Cheryl. Our condolences to Judy and family and friends. The quote by APT: "“I wonder if it is heretical to believe that when at last my tired
feet shall tread the Other Shore, a madly welcoming swirl of exultant collies—the splendid Sunnybank dogs that have been my chums here—will bound forward, circling and barking around me, to lead me Home!” by Albert Payson Terhune Amen. With sympathy, BiBi and Rich

Condolence From: Kelly Kontur, Northfield, Ohio
Condolence: Farewell to one of the best people in Collies. Cheryl was a friend to everyone, big or small, and a fantastic sportswoman. She was an expert trainer and handler and was always known for being exceedingly gentle with her furry charges. Everyone who met Cheryl was better for it and we will miss her quiet example.

Much love from up North,
Kelly Kontur and Cathy Crawford
