    I first met Cheryl at RES as she was a proud parent and I was a teacher! That day began a friendship that would last for over 25 years! She was a wonderful mother who loved her family fiercely! Her grandchildren were her heart and she was so proud of them! She loved her boys unconditionally and was so thrilled with their wives! Pete, she loved you with every ounce of her being! Cheryl had a heart as big as all outdoors and blessed everyone she met! Her smile was contagious! Cheryl will be missed so very much but there will not be a day that she won't be looking down on her precious family! Prayers for peace and comfort for each and everyone of you. May wonderful memories fill your heart until you meet again! Linda Salzman
