We grew up with Sheryl, like our big sister as she was incredibly close to my Mum and Dad - Glenys and Bruce Miller. Sheryl was so supportive of us and our parents and gave Mum her final home in Ohope. She had a great sense of humour and loved to be the boss lol. Sending love from all our Whanau to all of Sheryl´s family. She will be missed xx

Condolences to all family and friends.
Sheryl and i didn't see much of each other over the years but I am happy to have spoken to her on numerous occasions to the well-being of her family. She has raised a great legacy in her son, Richard, and granddaughter Lilly, and I'm sure with the rest of her family.
May she rest in eternal piece by her mother's side.
Love to all at such a tumultuous time.

Farewell to a colleague and friend.
A special kind of lady that was a great and bubbly person who got things done.
Whilst she called me Boss, I often found that I was the one being bossed but with a smile.
You may have passed but the memory of you will be ongoing with a smile
Rest Now,
Paul & Evon
