Dear friends in the picture framing community,

Many of you know Cheri Macartney from her years of being a sales rep for Nurre, Nielsen Bainbridge, and Roma. Her territory was primarily the upper Midwest, but she also has ties to Texas. She loved framing and the people she worked with, her customers and she was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Now is her time of need and we all need to help her out if we can.


Cheri was on her way to Hastings, NE with her son and her son’s girlfriend on Dec.22. Their car hit black ice and Cheri was very badly injured in the accident. Her son and her son’s girlfriend were injured but are getting along satisfactorily. However, Cheri was flown to a hospital in Minneapolis and was in intensive care for several days. She has been moved to a rehab facility and will be there for many weeks. She will unlikely be able to work for a year. Cheri has a modest amount of insurance, but it will stop if she cannot continue to work. Therefore some friends have established an account for Cheri at Wells Fargo bank, titled “Cheri Macartney recovery fund”. If you would like to help Cheri, you could deposit in the “Cheri Macartney recovery fund account # 1940734211 with routing number 091000019” at any Wells Fargo branch or send a check to Jim & Marsha at:
3685 154th St. W
Rosemount, MN 55068.


Cheri’s dad has been sending me updates for the past week, and this one came yesterday. She must have given him access to my work email somehow, because out of nowhere, I started to receive the updates. I hope to visit her this evening.

If anyone wants to reach Cheri, her home address is above, and her parents will get any messages through to her. You can also contact me (sue@masterframers.com) and I’ll pass them along as well. I’ll see if there is an email address for her and update the group as I get more info.

My goodness...

Sue,

Thanks for sharing this information about Cheri.

I first met Cheri in Dallas while she was a sales rep for a now defunct Texas distributor and I was doing a training program for Fletcher-Terry. We hit it off, well and have been friends ever since.

A couple of years later when she moved to Minnesota, she would delibertly drive out of her terriotory to serve our account for Nielsen-Bainbridge traveling from the Twin Cities to the Fox Cities. She also called upon us as the Roma representative.

Sarah and I wish her all the best in her recovery - she is a strong, caring and independent woman - Our check goes in the mail tomorrow.

Wow. Cheri and her family are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
Here's to a speedy recovery......
 
Thanks Sue

Thank you for posting this Sue.
I've known Cheri for some time and know her to be a diligent, thoughtful sales rep. Talking to her on the phone she remains upbeat despite her very serious injuries.
I plan on mailing a check as soon as I get back from LV and will petition others at Superior Moulding to help out any way possible.
Cheri deserves our support both emotionally and financially after all she has given over the years to our industry.
