My condolences to the family. My heart and prayers goes out to Ron and his family. I worked with Ron in Tempe about 5 years ago.

My condolences goes out to the family during this difficult time. May you find a measure of comfort found in God's promise at John 6:40 which says that soon we will all see our loved ones again.

I am truly devastated hearing Sheryl's gone!  I worked with her at CSEA for 9 years.  I will always appreciate her for hiring me and taking me under her wing. Showing me everything she knew about the job.  We had long talks about everything you could imagine, becoming her friend was so easy.  We kept in touch for some time, but the last time I saw her was when I gave her a pair of Sun tickets.  Then shortly after spoke to her and gave her some golf passes as my husband does not golf.  I'm sadden that I didn't keep in touch.  I went thru my own struggles with my health. Having a liver transplant in 2008, I just didn't feel like communicating with anyone.  Sheryl will always be in my heart & so will the family.  RIP my beautiful friend you will forever be missed!!

I'm so deeply sadden to find out this very sad news.  Sheryl was my supervisor at Child Support.  I worked with her for 6 years.  She was always very nice to me and treated me very well.  I'm so sad now and my prayers go out to her family forever.  I moved to New Mexico that's why I left CSEA and I'm still here but I will always remember Sheryl forever.  GOD BLESS her and keep her as your guardian angel.

I met Sheryl while working at the City of Chandler. She has always been a good friend whose kindness and genuine nature shined through everyday. My prayers go out to her family and may God comfort you all during this difficult time. I will miss her dearly. Life's peachy Sheryl. I'll miss those words.

Sheryl and I were coworkers for over 9 years.  I truly enjoyed her bigger than life smile and quick wit.  She was a proud mom and even prouder Nana.  Always so thoughtful and taking care of everyone around her. 
She will be missed by so many at the City of Chandler.  My prayers and thoughts are of the family.

My condolences to your family. God bless.

Wishing your loved ones the promised comfort and strength during this difficult time - 2 Thessalonians 2:16,17

I just can't believe this is real. Just cannot imagine how Ron and the rest of her family must feel. Such a tragic loss. Way too young! Sheryl was the perfect partner for Ron. They shared a great love and passion for for sports. The perfect pair in that regard. She had such a quick wit and could hold her own with Ron in any debate. Such a unselfish person. Always taking care of everybody else.  I Never could figure out how she functioned on such little sleep. 
I will miss her.

I only got to enjoy being with Sheryl a limited number of times.  Being such a cheerful and positive person always made it a pleasure.  I will miss her.

Sheryl was my stepmom. She had been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. She was there for every birthday, holiday, and special event. Her and my dad were a perfect match for each other. They both shared an insane love of sports, travel and loving their families. It is really hard to find the words to explain how much she will be missed because there are no words. She was always smiling and laughing. She always had a quick comeback for any comment and was amazing at making people laugh. She was a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear and a voice of reason when you needed it most. She was and always will be my second mom. She will always be Ryan's grandma. He loved her, oh he loved her so much. And I know she loved him. She lived for her grandkids. There will never be a day that passes that she's not thought of, missed and loved. Rest in paradise, Sheryl. I promise I'll take great care of my dad. The way you always did. We love you. 

Sheryl was a beautiful soul.  I loved the way she was always willing to give her time to others and always had a smile on her face.  It was also really cool that she was such a sports nut.  She never was hurting for a lack of words and enjoyed seeing a live game pretty much anytime.  I feel for Ron's loss as she was a perfect match for him. I also feel for her girls as I am sure they will sorely miss Sheryl with every breath.  The world has lost a truly wonderful person.  I am proud to have known her and will miss her friendship. With the greatest of love for Ron and the kids, I celebrate Sheryl's life as it impacted my family and I in so many ways. - Robert Shaw
