Birthday Remembrances

September 28, 2020
by Regan Testerman
On my late sister Cheryl's birthday, a take the time to remember a beautiful soul that left this world too quickly. Cheryl was a highly sensitive person who couldn't cope with the harshness that she had to face in the world. I wish I had known her as an adult, but I was 16 when she died. Loss of a loved one is never easy, and this loss at a young age hit me pretty hard. But I wouldn't want to never have had her in my life. Having known Cheryl makes me a better person.

Wherever you are Cheryl, I wish you peace and eternal bliss. And know somehow that your bother Regan Dean (Dino) loves you.

Birthday Tribute

September 28, 2013

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
