There was only one CHERI. I remember the first time I met her. It was my Aunt Kathy Raley reincarnated. we lost Kathy in August of 2000 due to a heart attache after delivering her granddaughter.She was 45 years young. There was so much that I never dreamed of missing about my favorite aunt until the day that God brought into my life the one and only CHERI which was almost exactly like the one & only aunt that was so redneck, kool,different & very unique,I guess youd say she was the blk sheep of the family but most of all she was Kathy ,one that loved life , loved the freedom of the open road on her Bike, as much as her husband, daughters & g-children like Cheri did. she was always talking of them no matter the mood she was in, she was CHERI , never left unspoken. I had actually met another person just like the one that if you didnt know her well u might just not have really known how 2 take her but if u were one of the lucky ones u had a friendship & relationship with one of the most real people that ever lived. Cheri was nothing but " GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES " when we were together. she taught me how to deal with life daily n if that day wasnt good enough theres another one comming. I loved Cheri & she was always a great inspiration in my daughters & my life n we r going to miss her riding up on her freedom angel or her caddy . She was who she was and didnt want to be anyone elese . Thank you for the few short years that we became to feel like a sister & A GREAT FRIEND and nieces. And thank you Lord for taking my friend and forgiving her for she was a sinner may she have all the freedom with you lord to ride in peace & free with all your riding angels. Amen. we love n miss you Cheri you were our one of a kind.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I know that Cheri and her extended biker family were with me during my passing of my father (Moose). Cheri and her family will forever be in my thoughts. May she ride free.

Kandi, the loss of a loved one must be very difficult - especially your mother. The strength you've shown in taking on both your son and young brother is a beautiful testiment to who you are as a young woman. I am very sorry for your loss and wish you and your family all the best in this challenging time. Here if you need me, Michelle

My prayers go out to GW and the family for the lost of a very close sister. Not many women could see eye to eye with her, but we got along great. She was set in her ways but only ever wanted the best for all of us. She will be truly miss. Love ya sister, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten!

I first met Cheri in the Spring of '96 @ the Mothers' Day drags in Perryville. Thus began a long friendship that was rocky at times. Both of us were hardheaded & I guess I was too honest with her sometimes. I've never been known as a tactful person. As G.W. put it "Tommy, when you come upon a cowpatty, instead of going around it, you jump right in the middle of it with both feet." I'll miss riding with her like we did "back in the day", & wish her everlasting peace...

I am stunned and saddened by the news. My heart aches for Cheri's family. Cheri was unique, one of a kind, and she will be missed. May you find peace and comfort in the hands of the Lord; and know that you have many friends to lean on during this difficult time. We love you.
