I will always remember Cheryl for her kindness and her beautiful smile.She had the ability to find good in everyone.It was a pleasure working with her.
I never saw anything but kindness and joy flow from Cheryl. She was a inspiration to me and a mentor early in my Nursing career together at Eastview and I knew I could count on her to get the job done with the Doctors once she went to the clinic as the triage nurse. She was a Awesome lady and her smile lit the room. Prayers to your family and may they know how much you were loved by us all.

We are so sorry to hear about your mom. Ted has talked about what a wonderful woman she was. I lost my father a year ago and know it isn't easy to lose a parent but remember all the good times with her. It doesn't make it easier but it helps. If your sister needs anything in Washington please let us know.
