Hi gang,
On April 17, the Cleveland music community lost a treasured friend and talented photographer with the passing of Cheryl Reeves. Cheryl was not only a great photographer and avid live music supporter, she was a friend who always gave freely of her time, her talents and her wisdom. Although her light will be with us always, she’ll be deeply missed.
We love you, Cheryl.
