I still cannot believe this but while this hurts, we are thankful for the life Cherity lived. To my family, Mark, Julian, Chyra, and Jentzen, we will strive to always be there if you need us. Cherity was a sweetheart and had a blessed and beautiful spirit. We got to be strong. God is still sitting on the throne and is in control. I am so glad the children got to spend time with their mom at home the last couple of months. I remember calling Cherity randomly not knowing she was going through a situation back in 2007. God really answered her prayers to let her know that everything was gonna be alright. I am gonna miss our fun times and chats and laughters. Lastly, I thank God I got to see her one last time at Goff’s Ice Cream shop unexpectedly and we did our chats. I am truly gonna miss my Cuz-in-love. May she Rest In Peace in the precious arms of the Lord. Till we meet again.
Cherity will surely be missed. Cousins Mark, JuJu, Chyra, and Jentzen – I pray God grants you all the strength needed to navigate through this loss. She was a definitely a precious gem to our family. Beautiful INSIDE and OUT!!! Rest in Heavenly Peace Cherity – you are loved and missed.
THE CLEVELAND FAMILY ARE IN MY PRAYERS
LOVE AND DEEPEST SYMPATHY
I love you with my whole heart Charity…..
