I worked with Cheryl for many years at St John’s Lab. She was a great worker and always had a smile on her face. I haven’t seen Cheryl since I left SJH but always enjoyed her Christmas letters every year.

Cheryl,
Thank you for your friendship of over 40 years. Going to miss our chats and activities we did together.
You were always there for me while I was at St Johns with my father and having to care for my father-n-law. You also had a ear to listen to me when I needed to talk to someone.
Remembering all time with our girls at birthday parties, Friends Friday & Saturday cards nights, our Tuesday Night Ladies bowling team (Gutter girls and spuds) and all the nights @ the Brown Bomber for Softball games.
Heaven is getting a wonderful lady.
Until we meet again, Love and Hugs
