May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. I was saddened to recently learn of Cheryl's passing. When Cheryl joined the Office of Medicaid her beautiful smile, bright personality, kind heart and fun spirit bought sunshine to the office. She was a wonderful woman and a joy to work with.

Sending prayers and my deepest sympathy to Cheryl's family and friends. I met Cheryl when I worked for ODJFS Medicaid and also had the pleasure to work with Cal Lo when I worked at BWC! She loved her family, her full LIFE and she had that contagious SMILE that just made you smile with her! So to hear of her passing was shocking and sad. Cheryl was a "light" and a joy to so many who knew her and she will be sorely missed by all. RIP Cheryl.
