I'm so sorry for your loss.
I was a colleague of Cheryl's at the King County Juvenile Court. In fact, I took over her supervision caseload in Renton in 1989 when she left the Juvenile Court to become a school counselor.
Cheryl was a wonderful Probation Counselor who was greatly respected by both her colleagues and clients. She made a significant difference in the life's of her clients and their families.
My thoughts and prayers are with Cheryl's family.

To the family of Ms. Sakura -
Thank you for sharing her with the world of education. She brought her humor and kindness to my son's Eagle Scout board of review. She came to his Eagle ceremony as well.
Rest in peace, Ms. Sakura.
