Cherie was absolutely the most
gracious caring person you will ever know. Working with her as
kids on the farm is the most
cherished memories in life.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Cherie. I remember meeting Cherie while I was growing up and becoming friends with Lisa. All thru the years I loved going to visit at the Martin family home and getting to know the family. Cherie always had a huge smile on her face when I saw her and made me feel so welcomed. I remember attending a huge cookout at the house with all the family and I was made to feel so at home. Glen and Thelma Martin were so nice and made me feel right at home. I loved visiting and talking to all the family. R.I.P. Cherie.
