Not sure what to say?





I worked with Cheri when she and Kim lived in Cincinnati in 1978. Cheri and I both graduated from college in 1977. We became good friends and they invited me to spend the holidays with her family in St Clair. While staying in her home, Cheri's mom told me something about my father that I've always remembered. Cheri was so much fun to be with. I lost touch with them after they moved to Tulsa and I moved to DC. I read something about St. Clair County today, which reminded me of Cheri and Kim, so I Googled them. I look forward to seeing Cheri again when I make my transition to eternal life. I'm sure she will be there to welcome me with a big smile. My deepest condolences to Kim, and Cheri's dear family, for your devastating loss.

I became friends with Cheri when we worked together at DHL. We met up several times in Amsterdam, I am so deeply saddened to hear of her passing. She was always in my thoughts. Cheri brought to me the love of cats.
