Love Steve, Carol Snoopy and Charlie Kathey Schmitz (Kschm10246@aol.com) My prayers go out to all the family. I first met Anita when we worked at Cavanaugh's Motel in Kennewick. We were friends for many years. My daughter used to clean houses with Anita before she left Washington. We have often wondered where she was and thought of her fondly. She was a lot of fun. She is now at peace in God's arms. Thank you for having her obituary in the Tri-City Herald. God bless all of you. Love, Kathey Christy Jensen (jentzer1@msn.com) Just wanted you to all know how much I loved your Mom. She was the best mother-in-law anyone could ask for. Always know that she is looking down on you from heaven above and in the arms of the Lord. I love you all; Christy Madison Jensen (madisonjensen@msn.com) Dear Grandma Cherry, It was so nice having you alive. But now you are safe with God! My favorite moment with you was when you used to be so sweet and play games. I am sure that Sassy your dog will miss you too, but not as much as me. I know you are waiting for me in heaven. I miss you so much!! I will always have you in my heart. You are in my prayers and in my heart - thank you for being such a great grandma - God bless you. Love, your Granddaughter Madison Cindy Mish and family (cmmish@aol.com) Dear Kerri and family, My heart goes out to all of you. Cherry was such a bright spirit, full of fun, laughter and talent. She and I were good friends while she was here in Washington. Going through similar experiences, and new to the "Big City", we supported each other and managed to have lots of fun with a very special group here. I'm so thankful to have talked with Cherry again in January. I will surely miss that bright spirit, with a contagious laugh. She loved her family so much and I'm glad she was with you all these years. God bless you all. Love, Cindy Mish Lisa Fischbach [mcs5@srv.net] Dear Cherry Jensen Family: I was out of town all last week and was very sad to return and learn of Cherry's passing. I wanted to send you a couple of pictures of Cherry that I think are precious and have always loved. The "nun" is from Halloween in 98 or 99 and the other is from a Rocktober promotion we had a couple of years later. She was very proud that she could still wear her letterman jacket after all of those years and that devilish nun is just a classic Cherry moment. Both pictures reflect not only her outer-beauty, but her young-at-heart attitude and inner-beauty. We can all learn from her example of living for the moment. I'm so sorry she is gone and may her wonderful memories sustain you. Sincerely, Lisa Fischbach Blacker's
