Hi Cheri...it's just me. Starting my first round of chemo tomorrow and I'm anxious. Will be with you and Linda and all of the people we love that are there waiting soon (but hopefully not too soon). I need all of you angels to help me stay strong, ok? Miss you. Will try and write a new story for little Felix when things calm down. Love You, Debbie Sue

I only met your grandmother once, but I was struck by how pretty she was and by how easy she was to talk to.

Dear Cheri, I've been thinking about you all day, just wanted to talk for a moment. It's amazing that you had so many friends that really cared about you. You had such a great relationship with your "frister" Dana that I'm a little jealous, but mostly glad you could be that close to someone besides your precious daughter. I know she is a really wonderful person and I'm glad she was there for you, even at the time you needed her the most. I wish you could have been able to confide in me, but understand why you didn't. Each time I am here will add a short story for Felix.I hope they will help him to know who you were. I remember when we were teens or maybe preteens and you decided that you were a vampire because your top canine's or cuspids or eye teeth(take your pick) were sharp. You had us convinced we needed to wear garlic around our necks for protection from you and that we should sleep with one eye open. Well....we obviously survived and you moved on to something else, but.... I've always wondered if that might have had something to do with your garlic allergy. Anyway, goodnight for now, I hope you are watching over all of us,friends and family alike. I Love You, Debbie Sue
PS- I don't know if anyone else that has seen the picture of Papa and all of us as children has noticed that the four of you on the right side(of the photo) have all been taken by the angels to be with him and the rest of our lost loved ones; inc. Martha, who isn't in the pic.

Karianne, Your mom was such a bright star in all of our lives. I will never forget all the love she gave to our little ones in PICU at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. Your Mom, Teri and I spent so much time together there, so many good times, so many memories. I'll always remember our shared birthday parties, especially when she gave Teri her 1st Barbie doll...I will find those pictures and send them to you. She was an amazing lady and I am so glad to have known her. Love and Prayers for you and your family.

To my beloved cousin Cheri......
Thank you for all of the wonderful memories over the last 50+ years. My earliest memories were all of us kids at Grandma and Papa's house. I remember the "Cousin Train" where you were always the "engine" and we lined up according to our age. You were the oldest and the wisest.....That you for always watching out for me and being my protector, most of all, thank you for telling me to always stand up for what was right. You were strong in so many ways and my hero for standing up and taking all what life threw at you. I was so grateful for the extra time we had when you came to Denver and worked. We had some classic times with tons of laughter.....Your sunset was just as beautiful as our beloved Grandma's.
Thank you for being my cousin and my dear friend....being related was an extra perk. Take care my sweet cousin.....thank you for all the laughs and memories.....Love Suzie

Dear Karianne & Felix, Some of my very favorite memories of my big sister were our spur of the moment road trips. Every so often she would get a wild hair and call me up to be her partner in crime. Of course "Little Piglet" had to ride along too. We spent a great deal of time laughing until our sides hurt. And as always, we would both end up snorting which led to more silliness. I really miss those trips to San Diego (once by way of L.A.) because we were being too silly to pay attention to road signs.Then there was the time we went to Flagstaff,where Cheri tried to get us killed by driving onto a railroad track. Of course more laughter ensued. I love and miss you Cheri,and I can't wait to see you in Heaven. Happy Birthday Cheri Lynn. Celebrate the day with all our loved ones and the freedom to fly. Love, Carol Cakes
So cute at KK's wedding

Cheri-I didn't know you well at all, but I am grateful to you anyway for sharing your daughter with us. Sharing her with us through her high school years was a joy to our son & daughter. They found a great friend in her and it was a pleasure having her living with us as another "daughter". She is a mirror reflection of her Mom who did a wonderful job. I know you are greatly missed and will always be in our hearts.

Dear Mom,
Even though I can't celebrate with you today, I am still celebrating the day of your birth. That was the day the world was blessed with the funny, quirky, wonderful being that God knitted together: you! I am celebrating your personality and the impact that your compassion has had on so many people. I am celebrating the love that you gave to me that shaped my life and personality. I am celebrating the fact that we were able to spend many birthdays together laughing and loving one another. I am sure that wherever you are, you are feeling all the love that is being sent your way today. We will keep your memory and spirit alive and continue to celebrate you. I love you, Mama!

My Precious First Child, Cheri Lynn Boom Boom. You got that name from my father because you would wake up in a wonderful sunny mood telling everyone "Hi goodmorning!" You called my dad Papa because you couldn't say Grandpa and he became Papa to EVERYONE from then on. There are so many memories of you in my mind,I can't put them all down. You and Karianne were so tiny when you were born,we called Karianne the "Gallencamp Kid" because she fit in a shoe box with that name. When people saw your folded diapers,Cheri,they thought they were for a doll. You were OUR doll and delighted everyone then until now. I'll never forget the huge hug you gave me the last time we were together. Little did I know you knew it would be our last; but we have Karianne and my darling great grandson Felix. They will be the memory makers now along Felix's daddy Eddie. I love you so very much and will miss you more than anyone knows. Huge Birthday Hugs till we're together. Love, Your Mother

I'm thinking of you and Felix today Karianne, and hoping that you are comforted in knowing that you're mom would be very proud of how you've persevered through the last few months. She will always be a guardian angel to you both. Love you!

Dearest Cheri,
Many of my fondest childhood memories are of time spent in your home. Your amazing daughter is one of my oldest and dearest friends and I know you considered her your greatest accomplishment. She is and that is because of you and the unconditional love you always showed her. I know she will make sure your love is passed on to your beautiful grandson, Felix. Your laughter is a gift you gave freely to everyone who knew you and the one thing I will never forget about you. Thank you for all your love.

Cheri I will always have treasured memories of when you moved in with me to help with Melissa after Thierry died. You were such a big help to us! You encouraged me to go to church with you at CCF and that is where I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I know you are with him now, you are no longer in pain, and you are watching over the rest of us. I love you and miss you! Amy

Dear Cheri Boom Boom,
Remember that knick-name that Papa called you with great love and affection. I can't believe I'll never see your wonderful smile again in this life . I miss you awfully. You are very special to me. I always tried to remember your birthday because being so close to the holidays it was sometimes lost in the shuffle. Your daughter and grandson are wonderful and I know how much you loved them and how prowd you were. You live on in our hearts and memories, but WE MISS YOU in the here and now. Much, much love, Aunt Janet

Dear dear Cheri,
Today is your first birthday in heaven! Remember, how you always reminded me that your birthdsy was coming up!? How could I forget? Thank you for all the memories you shared with me about your life. Until your health failed you, you found a way to come through so many difficult times. Thank you, dear niece for the many ways you blessed me. I am thankful for the two times you lived with me and shared so much of your past memories with me. I know your love of our Lord kept you going, in so many difficult times. I'm thankful I could. twice, provide you a home for awhile. Now you are in your heavenly home with your son, Linda and grandma Maidie, to name a few! Blessings and love, dear Cheri from auntShirl.

I will miss getting to spoil Felix with his Grandma Cheri. I am sure she is up in Heaven watching to make sure that I do a good job of loving and spoiling Felix. I know she is watching me as I show Karianne how much we love her and adore having her in our family. Grandma Peggy Redman

I will always remember Cheri being so thoughtful with my three girls. Each one of them received a baby gift from her that we still have and think of her each time we look at them.
January 2, 2013
Happy Birthday to my Big Sister! I guess I should just say a little bit older sister as you were always pretty tiny. I miss you so much and still cannot believe you are really not with us anymore; although I would be selfish to wish you were still here suffering the way you were.I know how proud you must be of both your ADORABLE grandson and of your very special, beautiful and talented daughter. I am also very proud of her for not only creating this memory book but for the beautiful memorial she gave you and the unspeakably special poem she wrote for you. What a gift you gave to this world when you gave birth to her.I have so many memories to share,but will just give one for now: When we we much younger you had a chick you named "Peeper" because it was very noisy. One night it was on your lap and had an "accident". In your surprise you yelled "Pooper peeped on me"! We all had a good laugh! Anyway, I will add more stories later for both Karianne,Eddy &Felix. I hope you are with all of our special loved ones like Linda and your son and the list is unending. I Love You, Debbie Sue

Dear Felix, Your grandma was a special caring friend. I would often run to her house and then we would go on long bike rides followed by coffee at Starbucks and a bagel from Einstein's. We also worked in the Nicu at UMC together. Everyone loved working with your Grandma because she did her work well and had such a good sense of humor she kept us laughing the whole shift. I moved away from Tucson but your Grandma called me the day you were born and was so excited you were here!

I met Cheri several years ago when she leased a home from me in Heritage Highlands. She had such a special style, personally, and in her home. We enjoyed getting acquainted and I was so grateful to know of her medical work with children. What a wonderful gift to their families to be in the care of someone so special.
Cheri, you are missed indeed.
January 2, 2013
Dear Felix,
Though I met your grandmother only once, I can tell you she was a kind and gentle spirit. She had a powerful influence in your momma's life that helped her to become the amazing, selfless, loving mother you've loved since inception. Though you will not be able to share more birthdays with Grandma Cheri, I am sure she watches and protects you from above.
Much love to you and your parents,
Cat, Rob, Garner and Everett Dutcher

Felix,
Grandma Cheri and I worked together in Des Moines,Iowa at Mercy Hospital. We both took care of sick children in the hospital. She gave so much love and care when she did their respiratory treatments and she treated each child as if they were her own. We had many laughs together at work and doing fun things together. She loved to come to our place in the Iowa countryside and often after days and nights of little sleep she would bundle up on my couch and just snooze. It was a compliment to me that she could be so relaxed to do that in our home. I stood up with her when she married Barry Tillotson in Des Moines. We worshipped the Lord together,sang, danced and shared our 'sister love' each time we were together. After returning to Arizona, I missed her so much and the times she came back to Iowa were very special and some of my last memories with her. She loved her coffee and her sweets and sharing a cup with her guaranteed a long chat to catch up on our lives.
Your grandma waited so long to be a grandma and when you were born she had a new little life to love. As much as she loves momma, I guarantee you had her heartstrings pulled tight also.
She will be watching from heaven to see you grow into a young man and then perhaps a father yourself. Only then will you truely understand the love which she had for you here on earth.

Sending late condolences. I just read of Cheri's passing on the DHS FB site. I was truly shocked. We had a great time last July chatting at our 40th high school reunion. I am grateful I had that time to share old memories with Cheri. May she rest in peace and may God help you in your time of sorry and healing.

Dear Karianne, Your Aunt Shirley Lindner sent me the e-mail from you to her with the link to your mother's obituary in the Daily Star. I was very sorry to learn of Cheri's passing. Cheri lived in my guest cottage in El Encanto about ten years ago along with her King Charles Spaniel. I remember her as being very pretty and a good conversationalist. I enjoyed getting to know her and talking about our lives in an open, frank and honest way. I remember her excitement when she was hired to be the respirational therapist for the emergency helicopter service in and around Tucson and Pima County. I am sorry that her closing months of life were fraught with health problems and pain. I'm glad she had you and Felix in her life even though her time with Felix was so short. I pray that she may go from strength to strength in God's eternal kingdom. I also pray that you will find joy in your life with your husband and son and be glad you could honor your mother's memory so graciously in the obituary that you wrote and illustrated. I'm sorry that I won't be in Tucson to attend the memorial service for Cheri since I have relocated to the island of St. Croix where I was born in the Caribbean. All best wishes to you and your family. Barbara Jamieson

Oh my dear Lucy, what will I ever do without you? We kept our promise to each other from many years ago, but this was not part of my plan. I love you like a sister and am so blessed that you chose Iowa for your home for a while.The Lord had a hand in our friendship and He took you first but I am counting on seeing you at the golden gate with your wings on.
Have the coffee on too 'cause we will have alot to catchup on!
