Cheryl Yandle
Flaming red hair, totally devoted to her family of cats, dog and two birds; a poet, owner of a teal convertible sports car (looked great with her hair), and a Christian: all best describe Cherie. She was not reared with a strong presence of Christ in her life. The beautiful gift of grace from God was acknowledged and accepted in the last five years of her life. This change in her life was so evident in her walk with Jesus, especially in her poetry and her outreach ministry to others. She loved all, regardless of race or status in life. She invited people off of the streets into her home for a meal or monetary assistance. But, most of all, she offered everyone a listening ear. She had known much emotional and physical pain (Lupus) in her life, certainly more than her share. She carried this burden with dignity and developed a wisdom that led to her laying her burden at the foot of the cross.
