Dear Mike and family, I want to extend my sympathy at Cheryl’s sudden passing. I had heard her health was in decline for several years. Know that she’s playing poker with Grandpa now and I know he’s letting her win. I am having mass said up here at my parish, St. Simon Ludington. With much sympathy. Alice
