Cheryl was by far, my favorite teacher. I always looked forward to every one of her classes. Some of my fondest memories from college have something to do with Cheryl. I am so thankful for all of the priceless knowledge she shared with me and I am even more thankful for so many amazing memories! May she continue to rest in peace!!

I just realized how I learned to love plays and expose my husband and children to plays too. Although we went to different high schools, she would call me to go to Phoenix Little Theatre with her. One time she wanted to see Nick Nolte, who I thing she had a crush on, to perform before he ever became a big movie star. I owe gratitude to her to exposing me to theatre. As an English teacher, I taught Drama as Literature as one of my mini-courses. I finally went several years ago to NY with a local theatre group to see art museums and three excellent Broadway hits at the time. She has left a legacy behind of enriching people's lives. May she rest in peace!

Cheryl was my friend in high school who I met through church. She went to Central and I went to West. She was always happy, very outgoing and quite dramatic (she loved plays!). We ended up in different dorms at ASU but I recall her setting me up for a fraternity party. She was full of life!!! I am sure she is missed greatly by her friends and loved ones!

Cheryl,



I don't even know what to say right now. I found out just a minute ago that you are gone. I wish I had said how much you were appreciated. I wish I could tell you just what a difference you have made in my life. For all of your quirks, your goofiness, your "interesting" ways of teaching, your warmth, your heart which seemed to know no bounds when it came to understanding, acceptance and compassion, for your example, for your zest and passion for living, in spite of what cards you may have been dealt, for all of this and more which will remain unspoken in my heart and memory simply because the words will not come, and even if they could escape my lips, would sound trite and insufficient--for all of this I thank you, my friend and teacher. May you find peace and rest. I love you.



Forever your humble student,



Melissa
