I wish I would of been able to meet you, I am told we are very much alike. I have seen you in my dreams and felt your presence in my life, just knowing you are watching over me. I lived in your room, I slept with your blankets and could feel how special of a person you were. It saddens me that this world was overwhelming for you, but I know you are in a better place. As our birthdays approah, I will be praying for your continued peace and comfort. My dearest aunt, even though we never met, I will always love you.
Love,
Kristina
I hope you are at peace and feel God's presence always in your new life in Heaven.
With love,
Regan
Last year I said you'd recognize my broken tooth. Well, now all my teeth are fixed, but you'll still recognize my bright smile when next wee meet again, in the light.
Love your brother Regan.
With love from your baby brother.
I wish I had been older to know my sister as an adult. I could have been more supportive of what she was going through. I think she would like that I saved her album.
Today would've been the day that Cheryl's age became the same as her birth year--1957. They call that a Beddian birthday after a fallen firefighter. To find out why, see the article at this link:

With Love from your brother, Regan
You died too young, Cheryl, and you are still missed terribly.

Birthday Remembrances
Wherever you are Cheryl, I wish you peace and eternal bliss. And know somehow that your bother Regan Dean (Dino) loves you.
Birthday Tribute
Cheryl was 51/2 years older than me, just old enough to be very much the big sister in my world.
In many ways she was my hero: when the grade school kids picked on me, she was there to defend me; when I needed help with schoolwork, she could share her experience with me; and I am told that when mom needed to get the other kids going for the day, she would sit and give me my bottle before she herself left for school.
In later years, I remember listening to her albums and those she and my sister Lori shared. They were some of the first ones I loved. There was Supertramp's Breakfast in America, Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, the goups Boston, Chicago, and America (hmm--they all have place names), and the timeless singer Jim Croce, to name a few. Then there was Ted Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever, but I never liked that one. Seeing his character revealed these days, I can understand why.
Today, on what would have been Cheryl's 56th birthday, I offer these few words. I hope to add more words, sounds, and images to her memorial page, which can accomodate many things.
With fonedest memories on her birthday,
Regan
