Dear Steve, Tracy & Kristen,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have missed & will continue to miss the telephone calls that Cheryl & I shared for the past few years. We laughed so much that one of us would say we better hang up for now before someone thinks we're nuts. I enjoyed listening about the food being prepared for the Polish Festival. I regret that I never had the chance to attend. She is not far & will be watching over you.
Sincerely,
Chris Gallagher

Cheryl was the best Godmother anyone could ask for. I have so many wonderful memories; like searching for golf balls to "clean," walking to BaBa's house, exploring the neighborhood, cook outs in the backyard, and playing "school" in the cellar.
My childhood was filled with great memories because of all of you. Cheryl always helped fuel my love of reading with wonderful gifts every birthday and Christmas.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Sincerely,
Becky Mikulis

Dear Millie & Eddie, Ricky & Peter, Krissy & Tracy, Steve, and all the spouses & children:
I couldn't believe what I was hearing when first I learned of Cheryl's tragic and untimely death. In our hearts, it's never the right time or it's too early. The "Why, Why, Why" never gets answered, but deep in our hearts, we know He has His reasons. I lost my Mom suddenly and way too early, much like you so I share your pain. The only comfort I can give to each of you is cherish each and every memory as they come to you. Enjoy them and continue to love her for I believe she will always be with you.
Warmest Regards,
