I am so sorry to hear that Cheryl lost her battle with cancer. I can't believe how much she looks like her mother, my aunt Darlene. Growing up in Idaho, I think I met Cheryl when they came to visit one time and we traveled to Iowa to visit. If she was anything like her mother, she will definitely be missed. Thoughts & prayers are with you and your family.

My sincere sympathies Brett. My thoughts are with you and your family. I didn't know Cheryl very well as it was usually you who came into HOME, Inc. but you were always so cheerful. Keep Cheryl's memory in your heart.
