A few days ago, I informed you about my friend, Cheryl’s battle with liver cancer. I just received the following message relating the news that she has gone to sleep in Jesus.
It is with profound sadness that we inform you of the death of Cheryl Patrick-Johnson. The sad event occurred early this morning, November 4th, at the Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois.
A vibrant, God-Loving, dedicated Christian, Cheryl was well respected and loved by her family, friends, and associates. She was a very caring and supportive person and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Cheryl leaves to mourn her loss, her husband, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, and a host of relatives and friends.
We thank you for all the prayers, visits, calls, and words of encouragement, which greatly strengthened Cheryl and her family during her illness. Please take comfort in the promise in Revelation 21:4: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their (our) eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed way." That day is coming soon! We will see Cheryl again! She sleeps, awaiting the call of the Life Giver!
