We started as neighbors and became family! Your love and consistent kindness never changed. I was a new mom with no family nearby and you were supposed to care for Zoe while I found a childcare center and 3 years later she was still with you. You became Mom and Grandma Pringle and fulfilled those roles with such love. Our moments of love and laughter with you will forever be with us and in our hearts. Only God knows how you will be missed but we walk by faith knowing that you are in the Master’s hands.
With much love to the family!
Initra, Lary, Zoe & Laueran

Cheryle,
Thank you for sharing your dear mother with us. I remember meeting her for the first time and knew that she was your Mom! She had such a sweet sweet spirit as you. In reading her obituary and some of the messages, your Mom was truly a gem and gave of herself. Please hold on to the precious memories of your Mom, for they will last forever. You and your family are in our prayers. May she rest in peace.
