My memories of Cheryl and Terry go back 40 plus years when they moved into their home on Oxbow Road just outside of Columbus, right across the road from my husband Lenny, who is now deceased, and me. We became instant friends with them and enjoyed many years of helping each other with our home projects and going on vacation up north together to Cable, Wis. several summers with our small children.
As our children reached school age, they began going back and forth across the road to play together and entertain each other. Terry and Cheryl were the most helpful couple you could ever have, not just with my family but also to anyone who needed help of any kind. I will always remember Cheryl as one of my best friends.

We had so many wonderful memories of Terry and Cheryl coming up to visit us in New Auburn. Cheryl stayed at our home while she was going to college. Her and Terry made a lot of trips to visit us. Our love to her family. Gary and Jeanie Olds.
