My thoughts and sincere condolences to Sheryl's whanau and all her loved one's. I always enjoyed our phone chats at work, it took a wee while for her to adjust to living in Canterbury. Always talked about Nelson. Lovely lady xo

To Rick and all the family,
Was very saddened to hear of the passing of Sheryl.
You guys were great neighbours and good for a yarn over the fence when we were neighbours years ago.
Our thoughts go out to you all.

You made the world a better place. Without you I would not be where I am now. You were like my 2nd mum.
There are no words. I'm sad you will never meet my baby but she will know about you. I'm sad you are gone but I will always remember you and the times we had together. Thank you for being you and always being there. The best memory I remember is when we went out on the town in Christchurch only 5 or 10 years ago, it was so much fun and extremely spontaneous. I will need to find these photos. I will never forget the last time we saw each other as we said goodbye in the café that we would see each other again. I won't forget your always smiling face.
My thoughts go out to Rick and family. x

I went through primary school with Sheryl, went to church with her during those years and lived across the river from her and her lovely family. We often played together.
Sheryl was athletic fun loving and very smart. her intelligence was obvious even in those young years. But mostly she was loved by her great parents Ken and Shirley, she was always treasured.
My condolences to her husband and family, you have lost a treasure but Im sure she is not far away.
