We were shocked and saddened to learn through Canton friends (Kathy Delventhal, Ginnie Stapllefeld) that Cheryl passed away in CT while we were in the south visiting other friends (Crystal Marshall, Bobbi and Stan Leavitt). It is a tribute to Cheryl that her many friends activated such swift notification. Bobbi showed us a lovely note she and Stan had just received from Cheryl with barely a hint that she had health issues. I had last spoken with Cheryl, looking lively and lovely, at funeral services for Lyndsey Keene in October. We had an animated conversation. I remember years ago at one of Leavitts' Chinese New Year parties, that Demetrio and I sat with Cheryl and Don. We also had the privilege to attend one of her Christmas in January events. More recently, we had chats when she attended the North Canton Community United Methodist Church Strawberry festivals, often with son Don and family. . Since we were new in town in 1977, we never were more than huge fans of those great Canton Benefiit productions, but we got to know many of those involved and again, were privileged to attend the wonderful cast parties. I share these many thoughts with all of Cheryl's family, so that you may know how many lives she touched, in so many ways you may not realize. Our deepest condolences to you all. Hold those memories close.
