I have so much to say to you and about you Aunt Cheri. I remember when we were younger and we were at meme and papa’s house. We would be coloring and then you would come in yelling because you were so excited to see Jennifer and I. Papa would get upset sometimes and tell you to shut the hell up and you would tell him get you shut up old man. But y’all were teasing each other. You would come and play with us or color. When I got older, you and I became closer than aunt and niece. We formed a strong friendship. We spent alot of time together doing crazy things. Even coming up to the lake to see Carla and you would be crazy. My heart aches because you have been taken from us to early. My heart aches for Carla who has gone above and beyond loving you. My heart aches for dad who is so lost even though he doesn’t show it or want people to know. You are going to be forever in my heart. Tell my meme and papa I LOVE THEM. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! Until we meet again, rest in peace and give em hell up there. Hugs and kisses…
Your niece,
WENDY RENEE ZEPEDA (STEWART)
