Cheryl has spent her life working in the arts through photography, dress design and painting.  Through the years, Cheryl's talents have given her the opportunity to speak to groups--large and small--for spiritual inspiration.

When life was irretrievably altered by the loss of three boys, Cheryl wrote her first book, A Portrait of Grief, offering comfort and guidance to other bereaved parents. This new book Forget-Me-Not, A Survival Guide for Grief, continues that mission offering hope for those enduring any type of loss. 

Despite profound losses, Cheryl continues to embrace life with a spirit of creativity and resilience.  These days she dedicates her time to writing, painting, and entertaining in Bryan, Texas. She shares life with her husband, Gary Christopher, their two children and seven cherished grandchildren, all residing in their beloved state of Texas.
