Virginia Beach – Surrounded by family, Cheryl Holland passed away on Monday, February 24, 2014. Born in Madison, Georgia on February 22, 1949, she was raised in the Norfolk-Virginia Beach area. Cheryl’s surviving family includes her son, Robbie Holland of Windsor, North Carolina; mother Betty Cutaran Rolly; three brothers and three sisters, Vicky Hartley, Ann Boyd Keith, Tonya Mathis Joe, Roland Cutaran Chriscia’, Ricky Harris and Christofer. Also surviving her are two grandchildren Ashley and Jessica and two great grandchildren Emma and Holly Jo as well as numerous other family members. Cheryl wanted to express her deep gratitude to her many friends and co-workers who gave her support. She wanted to be sure that everyone was acknowledged for their kindness and compassion, especially Dr. Bremer of Virginia Oncology, the caregivers from Medi-Home Hospice and her employers, Walt and Bobbye Grizzard of Infusion Sales. It was very important to Cheryl that her friends, co-workers and family understood that her choice not to have a memorial service was in no way a reflection of her appreciation of them, nor was it intended to exclude them from her passing. She hoped that her online memorial sight might be a place where people could visit to share any thoughts they might have as a final farewell. If it is your desire, a donation may be made to a hospice or charity of your choice in honor of Cheryl. Cremation Society of Virginia is handling the cremation. Online condolences may be expressed to www.cremate.org.

Dear Cheryl, we love you and miss you. Thank you for being such a wonderful and caring friend. People come and go in and out of our lives for a reason, and the reason that you were in ours was to teach us about love. ♥ Walt and Bobbye

my first born! you have always been so special to me. I love you so much. no mother ever had a better daughter. I can't ever remember a cross word between us. some periods of my life it was as if you were the mother and I was the daughter. you were so concerned over me and how I would deal with your illness. always thinking of me before yourself. i'll always remember all the fun times we had together. I truly believe that you are now in heaven, restored to you good health and free from any pain. you will always be in my heart and I will see you again someday. loving you forever.

People come and go in our lives. Some leave little or no impressions while others leave a lasting and indelible one. Cheryl was such a person. Through her, my life was changed with a new family of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren Ashley, Jessica, Emma-Brooke and Holly-Jo. We went on many trips together and enjoyed every one. She was the light of my life. She will always have that special place in my heart and also in my mind with all those wonderful memories we shared. A part of me passed with her and I will NEVER forget her. I know her passing has affected everyone as much as it has me. My sincerest condolences and sympathy to everyone. With love:

Cheryl was one of the most quietly generous people we have known. She gave acceptance and kindness and company and stuff and never expected anything in return. In fact, she seemed to prefer that no attention at all be granted to her for her kind acts. In her final months she appeared more concerned about everyone else than herself. She even said that she felt bad that people wanted to do things for her and she didn’t always have something for everyone to do. The peace that she found gave us peace. To our family she was a dear friend, an aunt and proof that there are still unselfish people in the world. Just as she walked gently through life, she will forever be quietly woven through our family history and our memories. Farewell, Cheryl. We will miss you greatly, but are so happy you are free. xoxJoanne, Curt and Kim Cabotaje
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We all knew Cheryl as a strong independent woman. She was also loving, soft spoken and quick to laugh. Even though we didn't spend a lot of time together, I treasure every moment we had. The girls smiled when I told them that you were an angel now looking over them. You will continue to be in my heart sis. We love and miss you. RIP

Sometimes, if you are especially fortunate, you get to go through life with a sister who is gentle, kind, and thoughtful, a sister you can talk to and depend on, laugh with and, yes, even cry with- who gives so much of herself and to those around her. Cheryl was that special kind of sister and I am so thankful for the gift you are to me and the beautiful way you lived your life.

I had the great pleasure of being with in the company of this marvelous person several times while in the care of Medi Hospice. She was a vivacious, caring, loving soul. It is my prayer that God will forever be with her mom, siblings and son providing only the comfort he can. I am thankful to have been able to provide her care for she gave to me more than I ever could have given her. God Bless.

It's been very hard to find the right words. It was very apropos that I recently read a poem by Henry Scott Holland.
"Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other,
That we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way you always used
Put no difference in you tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we enjoyed together,
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effort,
Without the ghost of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was,
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out if mind
Because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval,
Somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well."
I miss you Cheryl.
