Cheryl, Terri, and Danny:
Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear of your Mom's passing. I remember in High School when we hung out Cheryl, I always thought your Mom was pretty cool. She was a neat lady. I remember her chasing Eddie from the house when she caught him talking to us at the window; still cracks me up - she was a spitfire! Keep all those good memories and each other close. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
