I am so sorry to find out about Cheri's passing. We had a lot of laughs growing up w/ SNPJ and walking up that hill to 5th wing to @ from school & just being ornery. We would see each other every once in awhile & picked up conversing like it was yesterday. Please accept our sincerest condolences and may Gods Blessings keep your family strong through this difficult time. Debbie Mavrich & Drew Gasper
