Dear Kevin and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Peace be with all of you during this very sad time.

Dear Kevin, Philip, and Julie,I am so very sorry for your incredible loss. Cheryl truly radiated life and light to all she met and she will be dearly missed. I knew and loved her simply as “Momma Ludwig,” which is how she first introduced herself to me. Her passion for loving and serving others, especially her kiddos, was unrivaled and her big heart and warm smile are irreplaceable. Cheryl was the most faithful supporter of our Flannel Friday’s at Donegal High School and donated dozens of flannel shirts to our program to foster a sense of unity, belonging and community amongst our DHS students. Flannel Fridays this fall will be held in her honor and memory! She boldly lived out her faith with generosity and compassion and leaves behind a powerful example and legacy. Keeping you and your entire family in prayer now and in the days to come. Much love to you all. Justin NeideighDHS Social Studies Teacher

Cheryl was an amazing person.. I loved working with her with her students at Donegal. She will be so missed. She always put others first, was extremely helpful to those with disabilities. Hard working, always thinking outside the box to help others succeed in life. I am so sorry to see her go so soon.

Cheryl was my colleague at Donegal High School. She was a champion for our students and we will miss her greatly. Cheryl has impacted more lives than we can imagine and has helped so many students find success simply because she believed in them. I will personally miss our story time in the hallway that were always filled with laughs.

Dear Philip and Julie,
I am so saddened for the loss of your mother. I worked with her at John Beck and she was, of course, impressive. I knew her better, however, as your mom when you were both in my sixth grade classes. She and I knew she had special children, but you and I know you had a very special mom. She will be missed by many.

Much love,

I can’t even begin to express my sadness. Cheryl was a one of a kind Queen of the Paid Work Crews, we called her. She held the title with pride. She offered guidance and support for all around her. Our work crews will never be the same and she will be greatly missed!

My heart breaks for the family. I’ve known Cheryl since we worked at John Beck together and then as job trainers. She left us too young.

Cheryl was such an inspiration to me at the IU. She was intimidating to me at first, since she seemed to know everything, and I was so unsure. But, she went above and beyond to help me find my place with advice and so many new ideas. She was an incredible person who touched so many lives in wonderful ways. Sending prayers and love to her family!
