I feel like half of me is gone. She taught me so much in life and of life.

I know she is in a better place and that ticks me off. Of course she would get there before me. I was always the slow and fat one...

One day I'll share with you about the weekend we had in the cabin in the mountains -- a real cathartic weekend for both of us - we did our usual - laugh, and cry and nearly wet our pants (sorry maybe I shouldn't have said that) but ... I think we were on the verge of being kicked out.

There is, indeed, a real ache in my heart - not for Cheryl; but for those of us who have to wait to be with her again.

No one will ever know what she meant to me. I am so sorry I could not be there. I am thankful to you, Kim, for allowing me one last opportunity to talk with her.

I so wish I could be with you all, Kim, Kris, Kerry, Mike and all... I too will share that special time with you here in Florida.

D#%^ I MISS HER.

LAUGH OUT LOUD AT THE SERVICE - SHE WOULD HAVE --I'm certain She IS laughing with a joy that She deserves.

I Love you all and my heart is with you.

Dear Kris, Scott, Kim, Family and Friends,

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Cheryl touched many lives during her 62 years on this earth. I'll always remember the times I went to visit her or met her while visiting others and she always treated me like I was someone special.

When I lost my mom in 2003, Cheryl said, "You can call me Mom."

I'll always remember Super Bowl 2008. Both teams should be thankful that Cheryl was watching them play via the TV screen. My husband, the New England fan should have been very afraid knowing that she knew who is team was.

Cheryl spoke often of her girls, and grandchildren and was deeply concerned about "her boy Sean." I don't think I ever had a conversation with her where she didn't mention your name, Sean.

Cheryl had a heart of gold and just loved everyone I think.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this most difficult time.
