To Anders and the Weaver family,

Please know that we are grieving with you. I grew up with Cheryl at high school and church and I don't know if she realized the influence she had on so many. My memories include sleepovers at her house, riding horses, related arts class, student council, and so much more. In later years it was Philly, and drinking lots of coffee! (She and Kim could always drink me under the table when it came to coffee). And I was so impressed when she started working with fabrics (my husband has a tie and I have a scarf she made me way back when)! I know she was so happy in Chicago and I heard she had met this "wonderful" guy. I wish I could have seen her more these past few years, but I know she was so happy in Chicago. Andres, you found a special lady. Know that she will be missed and I pray you will find peace as you work through your loss.

Dear family and freinds of Cheryl,



In her short time, Cheryl made a difference. She used her singular skills and talents to make elegant and beautiful artwork, and to support others in doing the same. I will always remember her as a wonderful student and friend. Her work, precise and perfect, will stay with me.

Dear Weaver family and Anders,

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Cheryl was a close and wonderful friend in high school and through college. Her smile always brightened my day and we enjoyed many, many conversations about life over coffee. I'm thankful for memories!

I'm sorry we lost touch in these last years, but it seems like she was happy and found a special home with Anders and her friends in Chicago.

My prayers are with all of you as you celebrate her life on Saturday.
