    Cheryl and I went to school together and I feel horrible for her family. Through the years of growing up with her she was always a happy go lucky gal. I enjoyed her personality. I never in my wildest imagination thought this would ever happen to her. I had no idea this had even happened until another classmate told me on facebook.( I don’t live in FL anymore). Mr. and Mrs. Cain and family, I’m truely sorry for your loss. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

    I worked with Cheryl very briefly, but she was always very nice to me and always would lend a helping hand.

    I worked with Cheryl at Beverly Parkway animal clinic and she even let me use her saddle for my own horses. She always had a smile on her face. She helped me groom the dogs and shared some of her knowledge on being a vet tech. My prayers go out to the family Cheryl was a sweetheart and I will greatly miss her. God Bless

    The entire Cain Family are the type of people who make you feel like you are a part on their family. Many years ago we lived 2 houses from Danny, Peggy, Daniel, Cindy and Cheryl. Lauren’s love of horses grew greatly from watching Cindy and Cheryl practice riding horses behind their grandmother’s house, and letting her ride when she was only 5yrs old. (now 21yrs and has 3 horses). We love’d to he hear Danny tell stories about the girls and their high school rodeo days. Although we moved to NC in 1997 we have never forgotten any of the members of the Cain family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God give you strength and comfort.

    Cheryl was like a daughter to my husband Marcus and I. She spend a lot of time at our home. She was engaged to our son Justin after High School. She was always part of our family even after they broke up.She was one of the sweetest persons I ever new. She still called just to say hi and check on us and my grandchildren who she love very much. She will be greatly missed we loved her very much. I hope an pray they find the person who did this to this beautiful girl. She did not deserve this. Our thoughts and prayers are with Danny, Peggy , her Aunt Linda and the rest of her family. I can’t even began to know the pain they are going through at this time. Rest in Peace Cheryl we love you and you alway will be in our thoughts and your family in our prays.
