So sorry to hear about Sissy, I didn't reconize the name Cheryl, I guess I never heard her called that. Remember the good times with her and she will always be there with you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry for you loss and your pain. She was one of a kind and my heart breaks...

Sis and I hung around back in the day, during school and beyond. She was a fun and hilarious friend. Like I said, she was one of a kind,. No matter what the situation, she always made me laugh. When you made her laugh, she'd clap you on the shoulder... I think the more she liked you, the harder that clap got.. but that was sis, wasn't it.

I remember a time when I moved back to Iowa after 15 years, and I met up with sis. It was like time and distance never happened, we started from where we left off. That’s what true friendship is all about though, isn’t it.

And as with Sis, to all my friends: No matter how far away we are, or how long it's been since we've talked...You will always be in my heart with fond memories. And if we can’t be here together, I know you’ll be waiting for me on the other side, welcoming me with open arms..

Was very sad to see Sissy's Obit.in the paper. Sissy was one of a kind, and I will sure miss seeing her at the Oelwein Camp Ground, where I would get the chance to visit with her, thinking of all her family at this sad time.
