This is not in Cheryl’s write up but when she spoke about the removed cyst almost the size of a basketball I knew we needed to hear more about her last February mercy trip.

Cheryl was responsible for recording “medical records” for each patient on a spreadsheet and the old “and other duties as may be assigned” that included running to the bakery for “goodies” for the staff.
