To the Mamakos, Parker, and Kidd Family,
My deepest condolences for your loss. I worked with Sheryl on many USAF projects and know that she was truly one of a kind. She made everyone feel a part of the team, was smart as hell, and always found a way to get the job done-- all while having the time of her life. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. I always looked forward to seeing her and learning more from her. Sheryl's love of life and positive spirit erupted into all she did. I will miss her greatly.
