For those friends of Cheryl Anne Merrick who were not able to view her memorial service I have posted my eulogy at her memorial service here on her blog. In preparing to post I realized that at the end of my talk about Cheryl♡Anne I failed to reiterate and summarize my introductory topical statement, as a good writer should do. So, the added "I began Cheryl♡Anne's story" summary at the end is an addition to the spoken message.

Thank you all for coming. I want to acknowledge the music people, the Bishop, the RS & EQ presidents, and many others whom we know have helped to make this a special day for our family. We thank Melode Blackmore for her wonderful support as our hospice nurse, and we thank those who provided flowers. Any who brought flowers are welcome to take them home after the memorial service. Teddi Stubbs has graciously volunteered to deliver any remaining flowers to ward members who need a little sunshine in their day. We also thank Teddi for getting the painting of Cheryl framed, and a very, very special thanks to Kirsten Beitler, Cheryl♡Anne’s good friend who painted that lovely painting of Cheryl that you saw in the Life Display.
