BEN, remember the day you and Cheryl invited me over to your house to help you setup and install a wireless router? Remember how happy Cheryl was when we didn't burn down the house in the process? Remember how I came back to your house a few days later to replace the router we had just installed because it crapped out on you? Well, the truth is I just wanted to come back again so I could talk with CHERYL some more.
She made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She was highly intelligent, always agreeable and a very good lisener. I truly enjoyed talking with her. She is in my thoughts and in my prayers. Take care my friend.

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Cheryl for about 2 years. During that time, she touched my life in such a positive way, and I was so grateful for her kindness. Whenever Cheryl was out of the office, I would count the days until she returned. She made rough days so much easier. My thoughts and prayers are with Cheryl and her loved ones.

So sorry to hear of her passing. I had worked with Cheryl from the very first day of starting at Boehringer in May 1999.
She had a tremendous knowledge in her field and willingly shared it with others. I will miss her friendship and sense of humor which used to get me so cracked up.

I worked with Cheryl at BI. Soon after my husband and I moved into our house in 2004, Cheryl and Ben were very generous and gave us a big, beautiful wood and glass coffee table that we still enjoy using today. That table has kept Cheryl and Ben in our thoughts often. She was a sweet woman and I am glad to have met her and known her for the short time I did. Peace to her family and friends.
