"'To Those I Loved, and to Those Who Loved Me" When I am gone,
release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, be happy we had so many years. I give you my love.
You only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love, you have shown me, but now it's time to travel alone. So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart.
And when you must come this way along, I'll greet you with a smile and say, ~~welcome Home."

REVEREND PAUL H. EASLEY, SR. OFFICIATING
REV. BYRON THOMAS, SENIOR PASTOR BEN HILL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
~~~~was born on November 8, 1955 to Annie Ruth Lindsey and
Edward R Lindsey, Sr. at the Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Denver, Colorado. She was educated in the Adanta Public School System where she graduated from Joseph E. Brown High School with honors. After high school, she was employed full-time at Continental Insurance Company. After working there briefly, she later was employed at Lucent Technologies (formerly Western Electric) and stayed there until her retirement. Not one to be idle, she became employed again with Georgia Power for the last nine years.
She gave her life to Christ at a very early age under the leadership of Reverend P. Harold Gray. She was baptized in her family church, Warren Memorial United Methodist Church and later became a member of Ben Hill United Methodist Church. At Ben Hill, she faithfully served on several ministries including the Hospitality Ministry, the Care Ministry, where she was the Chairperson, and the Usher's Ministry and she was also part of the Jewels and Partners.
Cheryl was previously married to Ralph Tigner with whom she had one son, Antonio Tigner. She is survived by her son, Antonio Tigner; mother Annie R. Lindsey; mother-in-law, Ethel Mae Tigner; a brother, Edward R. Lindsey, Jr. "Petie"; sisters, Jacquelyn ''Jackie" and Belinda; nephews, Roderick and JuanDerrick; and two precious grandchildren, Antonio and Ariel. She is survived by aunts, Betty Current of Hollis, New York, Ethel Mae Binion, Evelyn Morgan and Carolyn Smith, a loving God-mother, Lillie Austin and a host of other relatives and friends. She will dearly be missed by her close friends: Patricia Middleton, Jaclci McLoyd, Brookie Williams, Brena Holmes, Jackie McGhee and Natalie Hatch.
On Tuesday, February 11 after a valiant, life-long fight against Sickle Cell Anemia, Cheryl answered the call home. Cheryl refused to let this disease orchestrate her life by reaching out to help others with the disease through the Sickle Cell Foundation Walks and various programs.
