I am so sorry to hear of Cheryl's passing, she had a kindred heart and will be sadly missed. She enjoyed planting the Raspberries with me in her back yard, she loved gardening and bird watching and so often had talked of her Children and especially her Grand children and going up to her Cottage in Wild Rose. I have worked with Cheryl at Plexus Corp, she was always with kind words and a pleasure to work with. Go be with the Angels Cheryl, RIP my friend! My prayers go out to the entire Atkinson family!
