Check, it was a joy having you as my cousin. Your Aunt Maureen, my Mother held a special part in her heart for you. You were so inspiring to others around you showing sincere kindness and caring for them. I do know all your Sadler relatives loved you dearly from the day you were born. Will miss you so much, but know you are now at peace and not in pain no longer. We will be meeting again. I love you cousin.

The last time I saw you, Check was at my Mother's funeral Beatrice Sadler, and you told me you had gotten close to the Lord again and how much you loved your daughter, Cara. Sorry, I could not be with you more through our lifetime. I want you to know I loved your Mother and Father very much. Cousin, Nancy Carol Sadler Messick

Check was as gentle and sensitive a person as any I have ever met. He cared deeply about his mother's and daughter's well-being, and, for that of his friends. He bore his own pain with humility and remarkable dignity, especially considering the extreme challenge.



A few weeks back, he gave to me a vibrant testimony as to his Savior's work and his own future. It was a wonderful and sincere expression, which left no doubt. I look forward to renewing the conversation when I too pass over.
