Jim & family,
It is crushing to lose a loved one, especially at such a young age. Her time on this Earth was a blessing to many, and will always be cherished by those she touched while here. Sheryl is in a better place now, and I pray that you will concentrate on your wonderful memories with her from the time before cancer. She will always be in your hearts and minds, and that is its own blessing.
My name is Andrew Lloyd and I for a long time worked for Ames school, which is where I met Sheryl. Whether subbing for her or working with her at Kate Mitchell Elementary School, I got to know and love her pretty well. I was very saddened when I heard of her passing, but knew she had hard times these past years. She was always very kind to me and very fun to talk with. She made some of my fondest days at school even better ones. I even remember when I first started working at Beloit school in Ames where she also worked that she always looked out for me and showed me the ropes when I needed it. Gone but not forgotten a kind smile and a great nature about her, she was my friend. My deepest condolences and thoughts go out to the whole Miller family.
Dear Jim and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Sheryl's passing. I met her during her remission working at Ames High School events and found her to be so inspiring. She would share how proud she was of her children and she never let her health get in the way of her plans. She stayed positive and brave. Sending you all hugs and comfort.
I have such fond memories of Sheryl when she first moved to Ames before her children were born. She and my husband Rich shared a birthday but he was 25 years older! They had a wonderful party together. It is my belief that wherever they are, they will celebrate this coming July!
Dear Jim and Family,
I did not have the pleasure of knowing Sheryl, only having met her a couple of times. My meeting you, Jim, coming out of Hy-Vee and seeing the sadness on your face as her cancer had returned. She endured her pain and discomforts like a real trooper. This cancer has to be eradicated. It takes so many great people from us. I hope that very soon you and your family will be able to sit around and tell stories that will bring warm smiles to you
face. I have no doubt there are many! May God Bless>
Dear Jim, Janae and family:
We were so sorry to hear about Sheryl. She was such a truly nice person. I will never forget how kind she was to me and to the twins on our trips to Ashland and to Canada. She handled her cancer journey with courage and grace. She was a brave, dear soul. We are sending comfort and love to all of you. Sincerely, The Swallas
