I first met Cheryl in 1968 on a visit to the cape to see my aunt and uncle( the polydys). We had great fun riding bikes and delivering newspapers. She came to Ct once and we were in touch over the years but sadly not most recently. She took great pride in you Mike and her grandchildren as I did receive pictures. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

~God's Space~
I''ve always sort of wondered,
yet never seen the place,
where friends renew,
with those they knew,
a place I call, "God's Space"
There's a room right here,
behind this door,
a bellboy takes your things,
he'll take the things,
you thought to bring,
on a trail of angels wings..
As you take your time,
you've got all day,
you'll knock on other doors,
greeting those who have
gone before,
in rooms on other floors.
Cheryl will reflect and still
remember, on those she's
left behind,
but be comforted in knowing,
we'll meet again sometime...
A dinner has been planned for Cheryl,
with others she has loved,
a banquet in her honor,
with warm greetings from above.
~Richard William Rudow~
