My beautiful sweet cousin/sister Cheryl. My world came crashing down as I heard the news of your passing. I knew of your struggles with health issues recently but you never let on how bad. You always faced things with strength and courage. Every time I called and you were in the hospital, you always said you were fine. Even the last time I spoke to you, you said you were 100%. Even though I felt like you weren’t, I always wanted to think positive. Even though you are gone from this earth, you will never be gone from my heart. So so many memories we have together from infant to now growing up together even after you moved to California. The distance never separated us. Our relationship was like no other and no one knew exactly how tight our bond was but us. You were one of the best cooks I know and I will miss calling you for cooking tips and recipes. A lot of my cooking skills came from you, your mom and my mom. We shared so many things, especially music. Every oldies song I hear reminds me of you. You always had the best music collections and never hesitated to share them with me. I loved ridding around Cali with you in your car jamming to oldies and disco music. When I was working, I always volunteered for training sessions in Cali so I could spend time with you and the family. I was truly blessed when you came to live with us in Denver because I got to spend all that time with you. Rest in peace my sister, I will always pray for you and thank god for giving us 60+ years together. I love you with all my heart. Uncle Louie, Louie Sr., Louie Jr., Steve, Irene and all the family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers now and always. We are here for you anytime you need. God Bless you all and bring you comfort with wonderful lasting memories. Glory to God.
