So enjoyed working with Cheryl at St. Joe's. She got me into the world of Flow Cytometry and I will be forever grateful. Heard a lot about Matt during those years. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Cheryl hired me at St. Joes 8 years ago and I was so impressed with her and I feel honored to have met and worked with her. She was a wonderful person and I will miss her lovely smile.

Having known Cheryl for 40+ years, fond memories will be a part of me forever. She made going to work fun. Although an ocean separated us in the latter years, I cherished her visits to Hawaii with Julie and the emails and phone calls that kept us in touch. The world has certainly lost a wonderful person.

Cheryl was a joy to be around, her laughter and sense of humor were infectious; she will be missed. We definitely take away from the relationship with Cheryl many wonderful memories as our families vacationed together for 20 some years.
Larry, Matt, Jen, Logan, Addison, and all the family, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
