Our hearts are truly broken for you, Shirley, Laura and the kids. Cheryl was such a kind, precious soul and she will be greatly missed. You will all remain in our thoughts and prayers. Love from the Danforth girls
I loved Cheryl very much as I know that all who were lucky enough to call her “friend” did.
She was one of the kindest, sweetest, most loving and fun friend that I have ever known.
Cheryl’s presence will be missed greatly as her life was blessing many other lives.
She was an outstanding daughter and companion to both Shirley and Laura and a very loving aunt to the kids.
I will cherish the fun memories we made together and I will miss her always.
God Bless This Family and God Give Them The Strength to Bear this Loss.

My heart is broken over the passing of my dear sister in Christ Cheryl. What a bright shining, unassuming light for Jesus she was. Her church family and biological family are going to miss her greatly! I’m thankful to know I’ll see her again in Heaven some day.
Shirley, Laura and family,
So sorry for the loss of your sweet daughter and sister. I know she will be missed so much by those who knew and loved her. I never saw her that she wasn’t wearing that beautiful smile. I am so grateful that she is now in the arms of her loving Savior. God bless and comfort you all.
I’m sorry for your loss. Cheryl was a beautiful person inside and out. My words cannot express my heart-felt sympathies. She is with Jesus now, and I know we’ll see her again. Please know my love and sympathy at this time.
My heart is so heavy right now. I was in the Singles Focus Group with Cheryl. I often looked forward to coming to class because I knew I would see everyone there but also because Cheryl always had such a beautiful smile and personality. I will truly miss her so much but I am at peace knowing she is with our Beautiful Lord and Savior and I so look forward to seeing them both when it is my turn.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve known Cheryl since day one of middle school, she was my first locker partner. lol She will be greatly missed. RIP my friend. ?

I was so saddened to hear about Sheryl. She came to Overland Park and played piano for me at First Southern Baptist Church on numerous occasions. She was always thoughtful and faithful. It is such a blessing to know that we’ll meet again in Heaven. Prayers for her friends and dear family.
I am so sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing. I was fortunate enough to get to know Cheryl in our Life Group and through Connection Point Church. One could never meet a more loving and warm hearted individual. While we will miss her, we rest knowing that heaven has welcomed home a saint.
Shirley- I’m so sorry to see on my cellphone of Cheryl’s passing. I will be remembering you & your family in my prayers.

Laura and Shirley, what a difficult set of thoughts to share in trying to express my sense of love and appreciation for our sweet friendship with your sister and daughter. She was a person of so many talents and gifts with a generous spirit of love and commitment to family, friends, church, her job, and most importantly to her Lord. My life is truly richer for having known and loved her. We have spent many wonderful times together that I will always treasure. I will continue to observe a huge void in our group where her sweet presence now resides in Heaven. Our thoughts, love, and prayers remain with you during these most difficult days ahead.
The news of Cheryl’s “homegoing” came as quite a shock. In earlier years I had a close relationship with all the Henderson family while at Fairmount Christian. I always admired her sweet spiri and smile, t and her musical talents. I send my love to Shirley, Laura, and all the family.
Shirley, I am so sorry for your loss! Vivian and I are praying for you all! I know we have not keep close contact but you all have always been in our hearts! Cheryl was such a great friend and great person! I remember all the nights I came over to practice for the youth choir when I was the director. She was such a blessing to me! Your whole family has been a blessing to our family! Blessings. Michael Wolfe

Their service was invaluable to the success of the event. There are no words that I can say to express how her passing has saddened me.

Love you and your family. Mary Ann and Ralph
