Cheryl Ann Balukonis

Cheryl was one of the most loving people I´ve ever known. We were very close friends in the eighties and had two incredible trips to Europe together. She knew where all the magical places were. She taught me so much about opera, food, wine, theater and life in general. There will always be a place in my heart where she only resides. I am truly heart broken. I thought we would spend some more magic moments together. The world has lost an incredibly unique and sensitive flower. My sympathies to Patty and all the other people in her life who feel this loss.

I am heart broken to learn of Cheryl's passing. Cheryl and I worked together at MCC in the 90's and shared a love of theater. We stayed friends and made several theater excursions to Boston and even NYC. She had a curious mind, a deep appreciation for the arts and a passion for protecting the natural environment. I will miss her terribly. My condolences to her family.
