Cheryl you will be dearly missed by me and all the other disabled veterans who knew you. However, you will never be forgotten! I'll always cherish the moments we had together in Snowmass! You were one of the most loved people in Snowmass. You cared so much for disabled veterans and we cared about you. I wish I could have been at the Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic this year just to see your beautiful smile and let you know how much you mean to me! God bless you and may you rest in peace!
