Cheryl…I cannot believe you are gone. I miss you and I will everyday. You were one of the first people I met when we bought our trailer in Pt Bruce 15 years ago. We quickly became good friends. We only got together a few times each Winter but we messaged and kept in touch. Summer at the park will never be the same. You welcomed everyone to your lot for coffee….chit chat…and your campfires. You were the hub of the camping community and we will all miss you so much.
Give Justin a big hug from me. Fly high my friend….fly high.
Missing you….Dale

I will forever remember you (“Ma”) & the internet “Pyramids Game” that seems like a lifetime ago. She became the one we all knew as our cornerstone in “Joh”. I was known to her as “Gold” &/or “golden retriever girl”. So many of us from that “room” became virtual friends, many just to “hangout” & “visit”. I treasure the time some of us gathered “in person” at her campsite several years ago & met her & members of her family. We came from Wisconsin, Texas, Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania & of course Canada & made our “virtual friends” & “Ma” become “real”. I cannot believe she is gone – it just doesn’t seem “real”.
Rest in peace “ma”. I will never forget you.

Cheryl was the grandmother to the son Justin and I share. She has been there since the second that beautiful boy was born and hasn’t missed a weekend seeing him ever. When Jayce was 1.5 Justin and I decided to go our separate ways and Cheryl picked that baby up every other weekend and kept him for weeks on end in the summer. When his father unexpectedly passed Cheryl and Jayce leaned on eachother and she really helped him heal and grieve. Cheryl was a second mother to me for a very long time and helped me navigate obstacles with Jayce. I’ll forever be grateful for the extreme amounts of time and effort she put into help raising Jayce. Jayce considers her his person and his absolute best friend. We will miss her every single day and I pray she finds peace next to her Babyboy. I promise I’ll take care of Jayce and make sure he grows into the man we all want him too. We love you Cheryl. From the bottom of my heart I’m so grateful for you xoxo
