To the Green family,
Cheryl will be greatly missed. When I first met her at the Senate-she told me that she graduated from Shaker. She was a year ahead of me. Her and I would talk about our school days. I'm glad that I got to know her for the 18 years I have been with the Senate, I wish I could have known her in High School. But I know that she is watching over all of us, and resting in peace with no more pain. I will think of her often. My prayers are with you. May God bless all of you.
