	Cindy Cindy Overman-Covert	I just got word this morning. I have known Cheryl for a LONG time, we both grew up in Grand Coulee. I was closer in age to her brother, Mike and she was the little tag along.....She will be sorely missed by all who had the privelege of knowing her and calling her "my friend". She is without a doubt one of the strongest women I have ever known. I guess sometimes grief can even overpower the strong. She emailed me a few days ago and I wish I could have done more to be there for her. I guess you can never know.....   Posted by Cindy on Saturday, July 28, 2007 - 5:55 PM [Reply to this]

Cheryl, you rascal, you are keeping your pirate sisters awake.... and we already miss you soooooo much, beautiful woman.... :(   Posted by Nessa on Saturday, July 28, 2007 - 6:26 PM [Reply to this]

	karen	We're so sorry to hear about Cheryl. My 9 year old daughter so enjoys the show. She was so upset that it was cancelled and to hear about Cheryl! I really enjoyed watching Cheryl and so admired her working with abused children! My daughter just loves you Nessa. It was nice watching a show on primetime that a child could watch like Survivor and Dancing with the Stars, which she just got into this past season. She was very bummed your show went off the air but will watch it on the web tomorrow. Our hearts go out to Cheryl’s family and friend’s – God Bless!   Posted by karen on Tuesday, July 31, 2007 - 10:18 PM [Reply to this]

	MICHELLE Michelle Steele Wade	Dearest Joy, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! Cheryl, was a strong woman, whom I enjoyed watching on Pirates! You and her family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers! Michelle   Posted by MICHELLE on Saturday, July 28, 2007 - 8:58 PM [Reply to this]

	Gina	That is so sad. I don't even know what happened - I'm just getting bits & pieces of this as I look on the internet for what happened. I interviewed Cheryl right after she was cut adrift & told her how much I admired the fact that she was just herself, making it very interesting to wach. I talked to you as well, if your remember. I am saddened by this news & I'm hoping for you to have strength in this difficult time.   Posted by Gina on Sunday, July 29, 2007 - 3:56 PM [Reply to this]

	Chuck	I've been a fan of PIRATE MASTER, and I was shocked to hear the news. Cheryl just seemed so strong and it's so sad that life took her down a path she couldn't handle. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Pirates - cast and crew - and you have my deepest sympathies.   Posted by Chuck on Sunday, July 29, 2007 - 10:00 PM [Reply to this]

	Joseph	Oh, my God! What exactly happened? The "word" is that Cheryl hung herself because she was despondent over her boyfriend taking his own life back in June?! Is that true!? Or just a rumor? That's so horrible! My heart aches for her friends and family...   Posted by Joseph on Sunday, July 29, 2007 - 10:06 PM [Reply to this]

	Eliz	Cheryl was an amazing person. The world is somehow less bright knowing she wont be there to protect and defend those of us who couldn't protect ourselves. I wish someone could have helped her, the way she helped so many. I'll never forget her ;)   Posted by Eliz on Tuesday, July 31, 2007 - 10:25 PM [Reply to this]

	pounce	my condolences are with you. i used to work with Cheryl in Las Vegas. she was an amazing woman and she will be missed.   Posted by pounce on Wednesday, August 01, 2007 - 3:01 PM [Reply to this]

	Cassykins	I was just talking to someone else about how strong she seemed on the show, like she was a person who just couldn't be broken down. It really goes to show you can't take everyone for face value. Yes she was strong, but also human. It's so easy to forget that about people you only see on tv. My families thougts are with her, wherever she may now be, as well as her family and friends.   Posted by Cassykins on Wednesday, August 01, 2007 - 3:01 PM [Reply to this]

	Scott Scott Lyons	Joy- I've watched the show (and continue to on cbs.com), and when I heard this news I just got really sad. This was obiously a very difficult time for Cheryl, and I'm so sorry you're hurting. I dont know you, or any of your friends, but this story was so tragic I just felt the need to say I'm sorry.   Posted by Scott on Wednesday, August 01, 2007 - 3:17 PM [Reply to this]

	Rebecca	I may be on the other side of the world, but that does not lessen the pain and sorrow I feel. Not everyone new Cheryl (including myself) but everyone knows loss. I would like to pass on my sincerest condolences, love, and the worlds biggest collective hug from all Australians. We have only had a small taste of Pirate Master over here (about 3-4 epps) but I for one see Cheryl (and all the girls on board) as strong, successfull women. Women to be proud of. To all Cheryls Friends and Family....... You have my Heart and my Prayers. Rebecca   Posted by Rebecca on Wednesday, August 01, 2007 - 3:17 PM [Reply to this]

	JELLYBEANS	I am so sorry for your loss. I love watching pirate master, Cheryl was one of my favorites. I can't believe it, may God be there in your time of morning.   Posted by JELLYBEANS on Wednesday, August 01, 2007 - 3:19 PM [Reply to this]

	♥ Dona-Lee ♥	Sorry for your loss, I was wondering what happened to my favorite show this season, and now I read why. God bless   Posted by ♥ Dona-Lee ♥ on Thursday, August 02, 2007 - 7:04 AM [Reply to this]

	Douglas	I am so sorry for your loss. As a fan of the PM show, I grew to know Cheryl as a stong intelligent woman who had everything going for her. She was an awesome competitor and honestly I find myself shocked by this. My prayers go out to you and Cheryl's family. I am truly sorry.   Posted by Douglas on Tuesday, August 07, 2007 - 4:54 PM [Reply to this]

	~*~Tam DeCam~*~ Tammy DeCambra Miller	Joy~I really enjoyed the show and i was extremely pissed when you guys were bumped!!! 5yrs ago i moved from Cincy to Kansas per my moms request to help me & my husband at the time get back on our feet....4 mos. later i watched my mom die from a self inflicted drug overdose...i will never be the same and it is certainly not anything i will ever get over. The only helpful thing that i could possibly say is that believe it or not it does get better(in a sense) and although that first yr is a blur and i repeatedly cut my wrists as i didn't know how to go on without her...it was the thought of my precious sons and the love of a good man that kept me alive. My heart goes out to you and her family and anyone else who loved Cheryl...it is such a shame to me when people quit "5 minutes before the mirace" and it's most definitely a permanent solution to a temporary problem. God bless you and yours joy! Sincerely, Tam   Posted by ~*~Tam DeCam~*~ on Sunday, October 07, 2007 - 6:23 AM [Reply to this]
