Oh Dave... I'm so sorry for your loss of Cheryl. I knew her briefly but will never forget her. Please extend my heartfelt condolences to her family as well.
Dave - I'm one of the Forest Service folks that worked with Cheryl in Orofino. I've been following your journal from Utah.
I am so very sorry for your loss. You were both much too young to have to endure such an awful illness. Cheryl was a wonderful woman with a beautiful smile and cheerful disposition. A joy to have around the office. I feel lucky to have known her.
Please accept out condolences and extend them to the rest of your family and friends.
My God. It seems so sudden. I know it was a struggle, but much like my blog, it never seemed like she was that close to this. It always felt like you had a ways to go before this time.
I was stunned to read today that she passed away. I came to your page and exlaimed "Oh my God!" Really didn't expect that yet.
I've been worried for a month that I would eventually see that announcement some day. Lot of what Cheryl was going through was similar to what Mare went through. And that didn't end so well either.
Dave, I am so sad to hear this. I'm one of the other Pajarito Plateau grad students at the Anthropology Department.I will miss Cheryl and can only imagine how much you will.
Dave - A dear friend and office-mate of mine (who also loved Cheryl very much) once told me, "A shared joy is twice the joy, a shared sorrow is half the grief." Please know there are dozens of Cheryl's "Forest Service Family" sharing in your sorrow. Lots of tears here this morning following your phone call. Memories of Cheryl's rosy cheeks and happy toes (she and I had a good giggle about her electrifying choice of bright orange toenail polish)will always make me smile. And of course she always humored me by taking great interest in stories of my little ones, Steven and Libby, and helped me entertain them when I had them at the office. In turn she happily shared photos and stories of her furry "babies." Cheryl brought much joy and laughter to our lives and she will be greatly missed. My prayers for comfort and peace are with you and your family during this trying time. Christine Bradbury

Sorry this isn't a better note. I'm in shock.
Let me know if there's anything I can do.
