It was such a blessing to me and my family to know Mrs. Cheek. She was such a wonderful inspiration to her church, family, and friends and will be truly be missed by those who knew her. As the days ahead will seem hard, knowing that she is in heaven with those she loves so much, that pain will be replaced with memories and the love that each of you share. I will be thinking of each of you and praying that God will ease the heartache for you in the days ahead.
