Dear Mrs. Cheryl:
You taught us how to count, how to read, how to color and how to write,
you taught us how to even talk. You were the best preschool teacher ever at Peppermint Stick preschool. We loved you so much when you left Peppermink stick we even followed you to the new school off of Grass Lake Road. You were always so kind and cheerful and you always held my hand when we needed you and pacified us when we asked for our mom or dad and they could not be with us during the day.

Now the Lord needs you. We hope he will guide you and take care of you the way you always took care of so many people.
Your love for children and everyone will always be with us today and everyday.

Thank you for taking care of my great grandma and great grandpa across the street and always look ing our for both of them. You both will now be together again in heaven.

Josy and family we are so very sorry for your loss. You followed your mothers foot steps in caring for us too at Camp Crayon. Your mom will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Jim and family - please accept our deepest sympathy Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. She will truly be missed.
