I ‘ve known Cheri since she was born. We spent a lot of time with her and her family as she was growing up Michael, Matthew and family. We are so very sorry for your loss rest in peace Cheri
I attended Bethany College with Cheri. I bonded with Cheri during our college days and afterward! She was even my doctor at one point while she was practicing in Weirton. We spent a great deal of time helping each other in different ways. She is a precious friend whom we will always miss and always love! God bless the loving memory of Cheri Gryskevich. In her words, that she would write, “Love and Cheer”!

Cheri was my roommate freshman year at Bethany. I remember her as full of life, always smiling. Cheri was smart and beautiful. Her laughter was contagious. Peace my friend.
We are so sorry for your loss..
Angie and Paul Sheffner.
She was a great person and loved talking to her. She will be missed Rest in peace my friend.
Cheri has been a part of my life since we were little girls on her back porch trading stickers for our Annie sticker book. She was one of the neighborhood kids whose family I remember as die hard Steeler fans! Cheri and I then went to Bethany together and ended up sorority sisters in Phi Mu. Cheri was always smiling, always kind, and so very genuine! Later in life when I would run not to her, she always asked how my family was and inquired about my mom with that same genuine care, love, and concern. She was a great person who I am blessed to have known. I pray for her family and know she is at peace smiling with her mom and dad!
Mike Matt and families you have our condolences from the bottom of our hearts

Mike & Matt – My deepest condolences for your loss. I think fondly of all the memories of the time I had with Cheri growing up, including all the “shows” we’d put on for the family.
Michael and family, may you find peace and comfort knowing that Cheri was loved and cherished by many. Our days at Sacred Heart were some of the best times in our lives. Cheri was creative, talented, fun and smart. I was fortunate to be there and enjoy the time we all had together. Those memories with Cheri and her class have always been dear to me. She is dancing and singing with the angels and probably in Polish. So very sorry, Mrs. Paolo

I just heard about this from my mom.
You have nothing but my most sincere and sorrowful sympathies and my condolences to you and yours.
Seeing all of the names in this guest book bring back so many happy and fun memories.
I remember cooking kielbasa with your father and him teaching me the fine art of not cleaning the grill to get the best taste! LOL. The miniature school you guys had in that basement that Cheri, you and I used to play in on Lexington Ct. Steeler Monday with your dad. Playing ColecoVision Donkey Kong all night and watching movies. Cheri used to have me cracking up! And yes, she did teach me how to do my first cartwheel and round off right there in your back yard. LOL.
Going to the pool with your mom. Us bunched in that little car. Cheri was always beautiful, super smart and hilarious!
I am so sorry.
I said a prayer for us all.
Feel free to email me man. My mom told me about this and I hurt for you and yours.
Please tell everyone we know I said hello and pass on the warmth and friendship.
The SHM bunch were always like family. And it was nothing but a blessing and good times growing up with you’s guys!
