Yesterday

Cheri and I worked together at the Carillon Restaurant in the ATT Center in Austin. I was technically her boss/manager but she taught me so much about customer service/hospitality, a real professional.

Later on I took over a GM role at Dirty Martin“s when Cheri was at Central Market. She told me in person when she had gotten sick and was moving to NY. It was hard to hear, but I was really struck by the overwhelming positive tone in her voice, she had this resilience and positivity that was one of a kind even with the news of cancer.

You were a true inspiration Cheri.

Love,
DY

I was born on November 22, 1963. So, we were born on the same day, just not the same year. Cheri and I worked together at Central Market for many years together. She was always so happy and upbeat. She will be greatly missed by anyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.
