"I met Cheryl probably like 12 years ago. I was going "back home" with Shelly. After a long drive, we fell asleep in the livingroom and woke up for dinner. It honestly felt like we were teenagers again. Cheryl made us tuna noodle casserole. And It is and was the best tuna noodle cassserole I ever had! Cheryl and her tuna noodle casserole sure made it feel like home even for me. My deepest sympathies to Cheryl's family during this difficult time. - Lisa K. "
