I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl as a Concierge at the CenturyLink Center Omaha (Qwest Center). In fact, we were part of the original team that opened the Qwest Center in 2003. Cheryl worked in the East Suites area. She knew many of her guests by name including their children. Cheryl always had a big smile and warm greeting for everyone. Many of her guests have asked about her during her illness. I will miss Cheryl. She is a loving, caring soul.

She was the sweetest person, and I am so happy I had the opportunity to know her. Tim, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Much love ~ Tia & Billy Carlson (and kiddos)
