My sister, Cheryl Masterson is the eldest of my sisters, and since our parents passing, the matriarch of the family. That is a position she takes almost as seriously as the one she did when she became a single mom to her five children, Chantel Balcerzak, Toni Chase, Rob Masterson, Elizabeth Masterson, and Jenny Spethman. Cheryl was an excellent mom, always making sure that her kids had the things they needed and making sure they were raised to love the Lord. Cheryl’s house was always the house to hang out at. She always had a house full of kids hanging out, and they all thought of her as a second mom.
Cheryl worked very hard to get an education and became a legal secretary, a job she has held for a number of 
years now. She is very good at. She is the secretary for the busiest attorney in the firm, and whenever she retires, I think they will be hard pressed to replace her. Nevertheless, she is hoping to retire in the next year or so. She has been looking forward to it for some time now. I know it will be a transition for her, because she has worked for most of her life. Still, I know that retirement will feel wonderful too.
Cheryl is my older sister, and the first-born child of our parents. She has always been my first friend. She was there when I came home, and she was a very good big sister. I could always count on her to show me the ropes, even dancing, though I never really managed to catch on to that particular “rope” when she tried to teach it. I think dancing requires a little bit of rhythm too, and if you don’t have it, then the whole thing just 
doesn’t work out too well. Nevertheless, there were many other things that my older sister did manage to teach me. Cheryl always had style too. I often wondered if she had gone to some special “charm” school or something, because when it came to reaching teenage and becoming cool, she was…and I wasn’t. Oh well, thanks for trying Sis!! Today is Cheryl’s birthday. Happy birthday Cheryl, and Happy Mother’s Day!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
