Dear Amy, I am sorry I could not attend the funeral for your Mom, But I do want you to know that I have made a memorial donation of $10 to the library. She and I became good friends over the past couple of years. One thing I do know is how much she loved you and her grandchildren. God help you in this difficult time. Joan
Amy & Family – I am so very sorry. Even though Cheryl struggled for so many years; I was truly shocked to hear that she had passed. Her monster cookies were the best! It was a pleasure to have her on my team at Sprint and to get to know her on such a personal level. I will cherish all of the memories I had with her. Please let me know if you or the kids need anything from me. It would be my honor to help Cheryl’s family in anyway.

Amy, Lisa, and the Heideman family, We were saddened to hear of Cheryl’s passing. Cheryl and I tried to stay connected since we moved to Arizona through emails and phone conversations. I know this last year has been a battle for her. She bravely fought her cancer recurrence with determination and a positive attitude and will be sadly missed. She was so proud of you Amy and loved being a grandmother to your beautiful children. She would enthusiastically share stories of time spent with them when we talked on the phone. She loved you all so much and wanted to make the most of her time with you. Treasure those memories! May God grant you comfort and peace during this difficult time of loss. God bless you all!
