To Cheryl's family: I am so sorry for you loss. Cheryl was a great neighbour and I enjoyed seeing her walking Quincy throughout the day. She was kind, thoughtful, always smiling, and had a great sense of humour. After she moved from the neighbourhood, we stayed in touch and would enjoy texts back and forth about various sporting events and how her pets were doing. May the memories you have of Cheryl help in the healing process.

I will always remember Cheryl for her laughter and genuine caring heart. We met over a BR&E project and became fast friends. She was always so enthusiastic and honest, a real advocate for rural Ontario. We always sat together at events and had lunch when we could. She will be so missed. Condolences to her family, friends and colleagues.

My condolences on the passing of Cheryl. She and I worked together at OMAFRA. Cheryl was full of life, was so good at her work and made a real difference in the communities she worked in. She had solid advice, and experience to guide communities to the success they were looking for. Cheryl was always kind to me, whether giving me advice or recommending a good book. I am so sad that she is no longer with us and that we didn't get to have that lunch we talked about. My heart breaks that she is no longer with us.

It is so sad to learn of the passing of Cheryl. We had worked together for many years while she was at OMAFRA. She was dedicated to her work, a compassionate and happy person always willing to take on those tough projects and provide support to her colleagues and many friends at work. With me, we always started our conversations sharing memories of family and friends’ experiences. I know she was so happy to be moving to St Mary’s following her retirement and to be closure to her family. She was such a true pleasure to work with. My sincere condolences. Rick Berthiaume

Dearest Grace & the Brine Family ~ Our hearts break with your hearts... The loss of our cherished friend, Cheryl, has devastated us. We met Cheryl at St. Paul's United Church when she first moved to Dundas many years ago. We shared a love of animals, country music and crafts. She taught me to cross-stitch. Her handiwork was beautiful! We treasure the memories of our visits, chats, laughter and fun... Cheryl touched the lives of so many and we are all richer for knowing and loving her... Rest in peace, dear Cheryl, with your beloved Dad and your beloved buddy, Quincy... Forever in our hearts, Liz & Doug Reeves, Dundas, Ontario

My sincere condolences to the Brine family on Cheryl’s sudden passing. I’ve been friends with Cheryl for over 23 years, her office was located where I worked at the Business Centre in Owen Sound. She was always smiling and sharing a funny joke or story and was always a great friend, I’m glad I was able to meet her for lunch when she was in OS recently. I am so sorry for your loss and all of us who knew her, she will be missed by many.

We were so shocked to get the phone call to learn that Cheryl, a dear neighbour girl, had passed away so very suddenly. Whenever she came to visit back in Woodham we were sure to see her taking her furbaby, Quincey,for a walk, who knew there was always a treat at our garage! Our deepest heartfelt condolences to her mother Grace, Daryl & Erika, Katie & Ethan with the loss of a dear and loving daughter, sister and aunt. Love Fred & Ann

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Cheryl's passing. As a former OMAFRA colleague I am reminded of many good memories with Cheryl over the years - especially the lunches we shared together in many different Grey Bruce restaurants where we would catch up on work activities and life in general. Being with Cheryl was always a boost to your spirits and you knew it would involve smiles with that unmistakable laugh of hers. She was a ray of sunshine and will be missed! Andrew Barrie

My thoughts are with all of Cheryl's family, her friends and former colleagues. Her OMAFRA career started with those of us in Rural Organizations & Services Branch in the Guelph office. From there, she adapted to new challenges in other positions and locations. The many notes about her impact on rural communities describe her enthusiasm and ability to bring people together. She will be missed by many. May everyone treasure favourite memories of her. Rest in peace, Cheryl. Lorraine Holding

I was heartbroken to hear of Chery's passing. I had the privilege of working with her when I came to Grey Highlands. Her passion for community development was immediately evident the moment I met her. She was kind, caring, and committed to her colleagues and the communities she served. I loved picking her brain (she had such a wealth of knowledge), thoroughly enjoyed our conversations, and that great laugh of hers! Cheryl was a true gem and she will be deeply missed. My deepest condolences to her family and friends. xx

Dorothy Daynard What wonderful memories I have of the years when both Cheryl and myself were counselors at 4H camp held in March break near Huntsville. Cheryl was always checking to make sure leaders were coping fine--- even with very little sleep. Her sense of humour kept us all in top shape. She surely was a very caring person.

My deepest sympathy to Cheryl's family. May your treasured memories bring you comfort and peace at this very difficult time. Cheryl was a dear friend and amazing colleague. She was always there when one needed a "listening ear", words of encouragement and support and/or hugs, both in person and virtual. Her sense of humour, laugh and smile would brighten the day. These are just a few of her gifts that we treasure. Cheryl was a leader in rural community development and made a true impact on the lives of people and communities she served. Her passion and commitment was contagious. Her creativity and dedication made projects stronger and more effective. The impact of Cheryl's work can be found in many communities and is a lasting legacy that honours a life well lived. We have another angel watching over us from Heaven. God's speed my friend.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Cheryl over the last several months. Cheryl was the most beautiful, caring, fun loving person. I will forever treasure our time spent together and many conversations. And, will never forget her laugh.

I had the good fortune to work with Cheryl for many years. Cheryl was a cheerful person and could see te bright side of most situations. I recall the Walkerton water disaster and were helping the town with recovery efforts. Cheryl lived there and had to deal with her own problems at the same time as helping others. She did her job well and deserved a lot of credit for her efforts. My sincere condolences the Cheryl's family. I know she'll be missed.
