To my real surprise, I can't believe how much it has helped me to come here and share this with all of you! It really does help, not only to share the sorrow and sense of loss, but mostly, it's healing to be together and
celebrate Cherie's life!
That's the most important thing—to know that the person lived well, loved well, and received love in return. And by those standards, Cherie really goes to the head of the class.
Remembering her just brings a smile to the face—joy, laughter. If anyone lived well, and had a full, rich life, it was she. If the only fragrance of your passing is love and laughter, then there is nothing to regret.

I was reading those emails last night and in all of them Cherie said we have time to work out the details.
I never knew anyone who was so full of life, so full of plans and dreams of the future, right to the very last minute.

She was kind and considerate. I never heard her say an unkind word about anyone. She was one of the most unselfish people I have ever known;
This is so true—and I don't think I've ever known anyone else of whom it
is. She was rare.

You may not see her, but I have absolutely no doubt that she will be there. You'll be there, doing your thing and you'll just smile and laugh for no good reason... that'll be Cherie.
I bet we will! This was beautiful.

These connections, these bonds are so strong, and so interwoven, like the threads of a tapestry. Cherie is a thread in this tapestry. Her thread hasn’t been broken by her death, rather, it’s been tied off, but it is still an integral part of the tapestry, a thread that has many other threads connected to it
Beautiful point. This helped me, so much! Thank you. Cherie would cherish this, especially the thought that she was part of bringing people together.

Heaven gained an angel, and earth is missing one.
That says it all. And boy will we miss her.

My heart goes out to her family, they were so lucky to have had her in their lives. I so enjoyed the pms and posts I got from her. She was such a warm and encouraging person and will be dearly missed by me and many more.

But I have nothing but wonderful memories of her to keep me going.
