Meanwhile, back in California, Cheryl was settling into<br />
her new <strong>life</strong>. Her father had wired nearly $30,000 to help<br />
her and the children get back on her feet. Her friends and<br />

must first create heaven for her, angles don’t live in hell.<br />
“A real man never hurts a woman. Be careful when you<br />
make a woman cry because God Counts her tears.<br />
