Cheryl Ann Barnett, of Little Rock, beloved daughter of Pam and David Barnett, sister to Jennifer (Barnett) Nipps and Scott, John David Barnett, and aunt to Payton and Garrett Nipps and Piper Barnett, has been set free from her little broken body. She is now getting to run and walk down streets of gold with her Heavenly Father! She was greeted in Heaven by her grandparents, Dr. H.C. and Martha Barnett and Frank and Clarissa Cole all formerly of Jonesboro. What a joyful time for Cheryl Ann to get to be with her grandparents again. But for all of us who are left behind and no longer have the privilege of her presence, we are so so sad. There was no other person who expressed the joy of living like Cheryl Ann could—no one who could give love as freely and genuinely as she did---and it was especially humbling to witness the unconditional love she extended to everyone she encountered no matter who they were or what they had to offer: She graciously welcomed the rich or poor, happy or distressed, healthy or sick. Cheryl Ann never met anyone she didn't immediately love. And thankfully, Cheryl Ann was loved by many.

Cheryl Ann was born July 19, 1977 in Little Rock. At birth she had multiple handicaps, both physically and mentally. We had little idea how much pain and suffering she experienced daily. If you had the honor of meeting her and getting to know her you would have witnessed what a person at peace is like. Her countenance was marked by a joy for life. Unconditional love and forgiveness were the hallmarks of her character. No one has taught us more about the real joy of living and true humility than Cheryl Ann. The depth of love she possessed and then extended to others cannot be expressed in mere words. There was an enveloping warmth about her that reached deep down into our souls. She made us feel amazingly special and important.
Please feel her families heartfelt love and thanks to all of you who extended your love, kindness and acceptance to Cheryl Ann. You have been a blessing to our family. The different parts you all played in her life were so important to us and to her. Cheryl Ann had many wonderful physicians that helped us make her life better and more comfortable. Thank you for your expertise and concern.
Our lives will not be the same without Cheryl Ann and there will be a huge part of each one of us missing without her presence. We will all miss her smiles, hugs and kisses.
But above all else we acknowledge and give thanks to our wise and loving Heavenly Father. It was His plan that brought Cheryl Ann into our family. He is the one who took what would seem to the world to be a "burden" and truly made her the biggest blessing of our lives. Thank you Lord Jesus.

Visitation will be Sunday, March 25, 2012 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Roller-Chenal Funeral Home(501)224-8300. The service will be Monday, March 26, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel at Fellowship Bible Church, 1401 Kirk Road, Little Rock, Arkansas 72223. Burial will be at Pilgrim's Rest Cemetery on Rodney Parham Road.
