Thank you for responding to my question. I had a strong feeling that this might be the case as I am pretty certain that the cards I saw with her name on them said deceased. It is very sad because she was a cousin that I never met or had any contact with and yet she helped me the most by letting me know about my Quaker ancestors.

Odd coincidence, this question -- the following is from list archives from one year ago today. Remembering Cheska fondly, Kraig ................................................... From: "JTR" <joannerabun@comcast.net> Subject: [Q-R] Cheska Wheatley has Past On... Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2003 19:05:48 -0800 Greetings to all Quaker-Roots, Andis, Clayton, Badgely and Mills Listers.... It is with great sadness that I send you the news that your list owner, Cheska Callow Wheatley, died yesterday, November 30, 2003 at the age of 60. She had been battlling Inflammatory breast cancer for the past few years and had taken a turn for the worse during the past few months. Genealogy was her passion and many of us have benefited from the hours she spent sharing with the online genealogy community. She spent many years as a school psychologist and is survived by her two grown children, Bryce and Mindy. As her close "Email" friend for the past 10 years, Cheska had become an important part of my life... one of my first truly electronic friendships! Cheska and I went through many stages of our lives together and discussed everything from mourning departed family members, to struggling with illness and work issues, to rejoicing the marriages of our daughters and new grandchildren. I will miss her wonderfully written sagas that have actually developed a "fan club" over the years. Many of my friends and family also loved to read the latest note I had received from Cheska! I am mulling over the idea of creating a memorial web page in her honor, so if any of you have e-mail notes or anything else about Cheska you'd like to share.... please send it on to me and I'll see what I can do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
