In Loving Memory of Cheryl

April 28, 2010

To all of our merchants who have had the chance to speak to support via phone or even chat you may have come to know and love Cheryl.  I am sad to report that Cheryl passed away in her home early this week of apparently natural causes.   Cheryl worked diligently to provide excellent support to all merchants of StoreSecured.  She considered many of our merchants to be her friends.  She was a hard worker, a great friend and she will certainly be missed by all here at StoreSecured.  Although Cheryl did have some health problems her passing was still very unexpected.

Rest in Peace Cheryl, we all miss you.
