Dear Melisse and Bobby, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your precious Cheryl...my "Stand In Bride" on February 16th, 1968, at our wedding rehearsal here in Natchez at Trinity Episcopal Church, will always be with us...always. She was a wonderful human being, a talented artist and most special to all who knew her. May God rest her soul and give you all strength and peace.
With our love, John and Valerie Bergeron
