Greeting to the Slugg Family, I personally do not know Mrs.Slugg but I met her husband at the bank last week. He sat right beside me and talk with me along with his little girl present. I just would lilke to say to Mr. Slugg that you are a Blessing to me of such tremendous strength that showed up in you that day as I did not know your wife had passed. No one would have never known until I mention about returnig my grandkids back to the mother when I was done with them. You said in "this case that cannot happen" and i asked you why? and then you explained to me what had happen and I said to you, Young man Jesus must be present in your life and you said YES that's when i knew exactly where you got you strength from. But you still said it just have not hit me yet...I have been praying for you and your family OK and we know that she is in a better place with no more pain and she is in Good hands and we will see her agian as long as we continue to live right before God. So be encourage and stay strong and keep your eyes on the LORD.
GOD Bless you and your family.

I worked with Cherie at Hope In-Home Care. Cherie was an awesome nurse and was dearly loved by her patients and co-workers. She was encouraging, thoughtful, gentle and brought a ray of sunshine with her when she entered the room.
I pray that God will bless Cherie's family and wrap His loving arms around them as they cope with the loss of this precious soul.
