We were very saddened to hear of Cheryl's passing. I worked with Cheryl for several years at Grant MacEwan Community College in Edmonton in the 1980s. Cheryl did indeed have a wonderful sense of humour and she was a great colleague and friend during and after our years of working together. We wish to extend our sincerest sympathy to Dennis, family and friends. We know you must miss her so much. Bruce, Madalyn and Geoffrey Johnson

Hearing about your loss has deeply saddened our family. We know that no words can console you but just wanted to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with you. Cheryl was great help to me when my mother and father passed away- there was many times we sat and talked at SAIT. She took the time even though I was only a night time instructor and I really appreciated it. We even had a great chat before Christmas. I will miss her. Best Regard Dawn Mains

I am so very sorry for your loss. Although I did not work daily with Cheryl, she was the best Program Administrator I ever worked with. We connected because of her awesome sense of humour. I have so many fond memories of the times I did see Cheryl. I will miss her dearly! Keep your memories and special experiences of her close to your heart. Remember all the great times you had with her. She was such an awesome lady! Susan Block Instructor - SAIT

I was extremely saddened for Cheryl's family and friends when I heard of her passing, what a tremendous loss for the people who loved her - my sincerest and profoundest condolences to you. I had the great fortune of working with Cheryl, and she was one of the most generous, thoughtful, intelligent, friendly, welcoming, kind and amazing people I have ever encountered. I could never tell when Cheryl was serious or when she was joking because she was always - always - trying to make people laugh and brightening their day. She was a first-rate mind with a remarkable capacity for quick witted, hilarious comments. She will be sorely missed by many. I am so sorry for your incalculable loss.

Dennis, I tried to locate Cheryl and you for many years. unfortunately, we missed any chance to sit down with Cheryl again for update our daily life. I missed my good time with Cheryl with her little yellow car, riding on the bumpy road, our late evening visits to your house. Could you please send me your email, address or phone, which enable us to be connected. Our sincere condolences to your and family, gladys

Dear Dennis, Shannon, Neil and Kevin; please accept our deepest condolences at this time of loss. We have lost a great mother, wife, colleague, friend and person; she touched so many people in so many ways. For me she was a confidant, colleague and a close friend for the last six years and right till the last day of her life. Cheryl was the most helpful person and would go out of her way to help others, for Cheryl everyone else was more important than herself. I miss my rides with Cheryl and her unusual humour. I miss her thoughtfull deeds and her lovely smile. We loved her here at work (@SAIT) and we miss her tremendously. Hope I could still email her for every little thing that happens and get back a response that would make me laugh out of my wits, if i could the email address would be cheryl@heaven.com
