The family would like to give a special thank you to all the loving family and friends who stayed with Cheryl, brought food and was there for love and support. You all have been blessings in this difficult time. Another special thank you to the wonderful staff (my work family) of Sharon Richardson Hospice especially Kim Johnson, Autumn Heling and Rachel Quistorf who made visits fun and could put a smile on our mom’s face. Thank you to Courtney Platten and Jeremy Fessler for all you have done so I could spend time caring for my mom. You all are Angels. Cheryl was truly blessed to have so much family and friends who truly loved her. She was a giving person, always making big meals, and if you leave her house hungry that was your fault. The grandkids always knew where the candy and goodies were and she’d always say “You’re at grandma’s house, you eat what you want.”
