Jeff and Lola, we were so shocked and saddened to hear of Cheryl's passing. We are so sorry for your loss! May all your sweet memories of her, comfort you and give you strength. Our condolences to you and her family and friends.

To Jeff and Lola,

Our condolences on the loss of your wife and mother.

It's been really nice to see all the lovely memories people have with my mom. We really appreciate all the kind words and condolences. She would have been so moved and grateful to see how many people truly cherished her and loved her dearly. Her firecracker personality has been passed down to me, and I'm going to make sure it remains. Thank you all.

I have never met anyone like Cheryl, and I likely never will. I remember thinking I was a good writer when I started working with Cheryl, then she would go over my writing with her sharp point red pen and humble me to my core. Cheryl could spot an en dash from an em dash from a kilometre away. Nothing was final until Cheryl had a chance to make it perfect. Jeff, Lola, her love for you was fierce. I remember sitting with Cheryl talking about some celebrity news of a lavish vacation and her and I looking at each other laughing that that could have been us, but we married for love instead of riches. Lola, your mom spoke so highly of you, she was so damn proud of you for the young women that you have become. My sincere condolences to your family and friends. Cheryl will be missed.

I was lucky to meet Cheryl through her brother Kevin. Going way way back now to the 80's. I very much liked her whole family. It's been so many years . Kevin and I were good friends. Kevin and I went on a ski trip with Cheryl and some of of her friends. It was a fun trip full of laughter in this giant stationwagon.

I remember all of it.

Cheryl was a supportive friend who treated everyone equally, with respect and compassion. She was non-judgemental, never lowering herself to gossip or judgement of others because she always had more interesting things to talk about. She would never shy from saying and doing what is right, even if it went against the common opinion. She was the friend always willing to lend an ear, even in times when she could have used the ear more. Cheryl was my favorite person to have lunch dates with. We would share life up and downs, and debate. (She always won because she was extremely intelligent and fully educated on the topic every time.) She would not enter into a discussion unless she knew the full facts. We enjoyed time making fun of people who would say "I seen...” I had to proofread any text I would send because there was no way she would let a grammatical error get by. Cheryl was a kind introvert who held friends close, and I am honored that I was considered one. I have heard that Lola inherited Cheryl's best qualities. My condolences to Lola and Jeff.

Although we never met Cheryl Ann--our sincere sympathies go out to her fabulous parents Gerard and Denise.

It was incredibly saddening to hear of Cheryl’s passing.

Cheryl was a true original. Always quick to call out an injustice, voice an opinion or share a funny story. With a great sense of humour and a fantastic laugh. She was a true loyal friend. And I’m going to miss her dearly.

Jeff and Lola, my most sincere condolences to you and the other family members as well.

Cheryl was one of a kind. I have so many fond and funny memories from childhood into our adult years that I wouldn't trade for the world. Man you made me laugh. I am beyond sorry for your loss Jeff and Lola. Rest in peace Chmoo

What a shock it is to learn of this news. I was friends with Cheryl during my college years and a number of years following – she was a firebrand, loud and bold – I was so envious of her energy. To Lola and Jeff, my deepest condolences.

I have fond memories of road trips with Cheryl to Regina, Grand Forks, Russell and Clear Lake in our younger (college) days. She was always so full of life and fearless - unless spiders were involved.

Our deepest sympathy to Jeff, Lola and family for your loss.

My deepest condolences to you both on the loss of Cheryl.

I had the privilege of working with her at The River East Transcona School Division over the past four-plus years and was grateful to have been able to collaborate with Cheryl on many occasions. Cheryl’s passion for standing up for others and doing what was right was something I deeply admired. She advocated for people in a way that not only made a difference, but also inspired those around her to do the same. Wishing you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Sending heartfelt love to you all.

This is incredibly sad. I haven't seen Cheryl since our college days, but in some ways it feels like yesterday. Cheryl was one of a kind. She was fiery and no-nonsense, she was also a good friend who always had your back. I remember Cheryl as a longtime animal lover. When we were in college she had two pet ferrets she cared for and loved dearly. To her family, I am so sorry for your loss. She is gone far to soon. My condolences.

I was deeply sadden to hear the passing of Cheryl, I worked with Cheryl for 21 years at River East Transcona School Division. I will miss her smile, laughter and her stories. Jeff and Lola you have gained an angel looking over you, may Cheryl rest in peace. My sincere condolences to both of you and your families.

I am shocked and so saddened by this news. Cheryl was a pistol, and made her mark everywhere she went. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

I was so sorry to hear about Cheryl's passing. I always appreciated her humour and passion. My condolences to family.
