    Cheryl was my Dad's first cousin. I have very fond memories of visiting her and her husband Wayne and their beagle, Snoopy when I was a young girl. Both of them always kind and fun to spend time with. Deepest condolences on her passing.

    My deepest sympathy to you. Cheryl was one of my supervisors when I worked at Capital Health. Cheryl was well liked by staff. I remember she has attended a meeting and was given an item to help relieve stress. Every time I went into her office to discuss work I would use it. I told her that when she retired she would have to give it to me. Sure enough she did. I still have it and think of her whenever I use it.
