Hello my friend! Going on 12 years Now since you've been gone. So much has changed but my love and admiration and memories are still clear and strong of our years together. Kids are growing so fast, 2 new grand babies! So many blessings but the heartache of losing you will never fade. You're never far everyday from my thoughts. I still miss you so much! I love you my friend!

I miss you both more than words can express. There is this big empty place in my heart that just can't seem to be healed. Most days are better than some, but for the past year and half I have really needed your shoulders to lean on. I know that your with us, I can feel you most days, but it doesn't even compare to having you both here, it doesn't even come close to the warmth of your hugs or the sound of your voices when you would simply just say how much you do love us!!
I love and miss you both so much!

Hello Mom,

On Thursday I unpacked a few boxes and came across the kitty blanket you gave Kele, you remember, it's the last thing you were able to give to her for Christmas... She has slept with it each night since.
Today, This morning, I unpacked Kele's room and opened the box that had your red blanket in it, I have it on her bean bag for now so I can make her bed and put it on. Then later,
Today Ron and I went shopping for a new dining room set for our house in Texas, and in my pathway was a beautiful red velvet chair, just like yours, only a little bigger than you small one. I know you know, I stopped at it and mentioned to Ron that this reminded me of you, he smiled. I haven't seen him smile when I mention you after all this time, until TODAY, he smiled. He actually sat in the chair for a moment. I just wanted you to know that we miss you but little things that come our way make me smile when I think of you, somehow after 2 years we never saw a red chair until TODAY, I wonder, did you have anything to do with that? :). Kele looks at your picture and always ask of you, I can't wait for the day when I can tell her how you brought me and Ron back together again and how you made me see my way back to him, because of your words, I am here with him. I never did get a chance to thank you for that, Thank you for being there for me when you knew my mom wasn't there for me, you stepped in. I love you and sure do miss you. You have a beautiful birthday coming up soon, Kele can't wait o celebrate it with you.
I love you and miss you...

You are a nice and pretty god mother. Mom said we can send you red balloons for your birthday this year but I told her you love the rainbow and want to do all the rainbow colors. You are the very best God Mother and I love you.

Hello my friend!
I miss you everyday. My life has not been the same without you. Close to 2 years now and so much has changed. Wish I could talk to you in person as I know you would have such awesome advice in these trying times not to mention I can hear you laughing out loud at some of the things I have done lately. Stay close to all the kids who love you and miss you as everyone still needs to feel your presence.
God's speed my friend.
I love you and miss you!

Wow, I cant believe its been a year already.. I think about you guys every s-i-n-g-l-e day.. And God knows I've spent many nights crying wishing I could spend just one more day with the most caring & loving people I've ever met.

I love you both with all my heart and always will, thank you for everything.
Happy Grandparents Day..

Hi Cheryl. I've been debating whether to write in here but I finally decided I'm just gonna do it. I miss you and it's crazy to me how I only saw you once in awhile when I went with Kar to pick up Kayla but you were always so sweet asking if I was REALLY ok and giving me that special hug. I remember so many times of sitting in your office drinking coffee, gossiping and you know their is no one at me Home Depot I can do that with. Just goes to show no one can replace you. There have been times I had trouble at work and wanted to call for your help. I miss ya. Please watch over Charlie and Karen and Chandy and Amber and all the lil ones.

I am so lonley for you guys i miss you so very much they say time heals but its not working on me it seems like it was just yesterday or just a dream i keep waiting to wake up I love you so much and just want you back with us. My heart just seems so empty for you both and nothing going to fix it . I want you back PLEASE COME BACK!!!!!

Happy birthday to my wonderful mother!!! This is so hard for all of us. I miss you and dad so much its so hard for me to understand that you guys are not here. Ive been cleaning out the house and there is so much of you and dad. I feel so lost without you I try to go on but i dont know how to you were my world and im trying to learn how to move on with out you. To find out who i go to with my questions or to just have a hug when only you or dad would do. There are so many things that i have been learning how to do without the two of you and i wish you both were still here. You would be so proud of Jordan and Kayla they are being so strong and did great in school they talk about how papa touches them on the head when they sleep. And Justin well hes just like you dad he does things just to irritate me and he knows that hes doing it but that just means that he loves me just like you did. You guys are my angles and im always looking for you but never can see you so please give me anything i need it so bad. So i willbe looking for that smile from you both and always know how much you both mean to me I love you mom and dad i love you just as much

Hello my friend!
I miss you so much. Mother's Day came and went and Father's Day is almost here and I miss you guys so much. Times are pretty difficult as of late and even more so with not being able to hear your voice. Matt is almost half way through with his tour in Iraq and he proposed to Catherine on his leave. They are so happy and I know you liked Matt, so I know you would have been as excited as I am. God willing the wedding will be in Hawaii sometime late spring or early summer of 2009 when Matt gets back from Iraq. I wish you and Pop could be there in person as I know you will be in spirit. I just wanted to take a minute and say how much I love you and how very much I miss you! I will write again soon. Love you, Jackie

But, your still pose to be here. I promised you I would stay your little Charlieboy forever, and Im still here. Im still wanting to be your Charlieboy. I WANT YOU BACK. I WANT TO TELL YOU I LOVE YOU AND HUG YOU AGAIN. Mom, I am being so fake on the outside. I dont really talk to anyone about my pain I'm feeling. I just smile on the outside and feel so damn empty on the inside. I try to help everyone else smile and not worry about me. I dont want them to deal with there own troubles along with mine. So I do my best to keep mine inside. Just like you mom. You always made others so happy no matter how much saddness or pain you were going through. You made everyone else happy. If I really have to go through the rest of this life without you actually here, then Im going to go through it triing my hardest to live my life through the one you didnt get the chance to finish. I'm going to imitate the best person, the best friend, and most of all the best parent anyone could ask for. I'm going to try and show you through me, you mom. I want everyone to see you. I dont want anyone to forget about you. I dont want anyone to let you go. You are so amazing. You did so much when you had so little. Help me mom, please. Please keep fighting. Dont let go. Stay here with me. Please stay here with me. I need my mom. You need your Charlieboy dont you mom? Please dont let go, please. I love you mom. I love you. Im here mom. Im right here. Im holding on. I promise Im not letting go. Im right here. Please. Please dont let go of me. I love you. Your my mom. I love you.

My kids are growing up so fast and I beam with pride as they are my world and allot of that I owe to you for all that you taught me. You and your unconditional love I will cherish forever.

Hello My Best Friend!
I know it took me a while to write. But YOU know I talk to you everyday! Words can't describe the feelings of loss I have without you. You were sooo many things to me and such a huge part of many milestones in my life. You were the best friend, sister, grandma, counselor, teacher & the list goes on and on!! I am grateful that I have 23 yrs. of memories with you but another 23 would have been even better. You make me want to be a better person, friend and mother...then and now. God how I miss your smile, your laugh and your hugs but most of all just YOU and EVERYTHING about you! It is Gavin's birthday today and we leave this Island in a week for the next chapter in our lives. It will never be the same without you HERE as I know you are always with all of us, but still.
I will do my best to make you proud and that is a tall order! For now stay close and if you see me starting to screw up kick me!! I love and miss you so very, very much! X O X O Jackie

Dear Cheryl,
As you know, Charlie and I have been great friends for many years. Through those years I have gotten to know you very well and want to thank you for all the kindness, warmth, and love you have shown to all of us over the years. I just want to let you know that I was out in Arizona for the funeral and I was amazed at the amount of loving family members and friends that you leave behind. You are an amazing person with a loving heart and infectuous laugh. Your legacy will live on with your wonderful children and grandchildren. They all carry your great characteristics.

Cheryl,
Thank you for so many years of true friendship. It's so hard to except that your gone!! Your smile,laugh and your up beat attitude and your love for christmas is something I will never forget. I think the only thing keeping me strong is the fact that I know your pain is gone. You were such a strong woman and always there to help when someone was in need. Cheryl you would be so very proud of your kids!! They dug deep within and stuck together through this unthinkable loss,YOU!!! I will be here for all of them like you were here for me. Thank you so much for the freindship that you shared with my family and I for so many years.

Hi mom. Its your son Charlie. You know your Charlie Boy.. Sorry its taken me so long to sign this. Im just having a real hard time with all this. Im really missing you mom. You were always there no matter what. I talk to you everynight before I go to bed and first thing in the morning when I wake up. You would be so proud of Amber and Chandy mom. They are really helping me so much. For the first time were all three on the same page. It feels so good. But mom, I really struggle sometimes. I try to be strong like you, but its hard. You were truely the strongest woman I have ever met and by far the best mom a son could ever ask for. I do know for sure that if I am even half the parent to Kayla that you were to us, she will be ok. Im gonna go for now mom, but Im gonna always have you with me. I need you with me. I might not be able to see you or hear, but Im never gonna let you go and Im never gonna stop talking to you. I love you mom. You are the best and I miss you soooooooo much. Ill talk to you soon ok. I LOVE YOU. Your son Charlie Boy.

To Cheri, Growing up as kids in California I remember fondly all the good times we had together as a family. We were all together and close knit. When out families went thier seperate ways we lost that closeness and I miss it dearly. Now I'll have to wait till we meet again in our Father's kingdom. I miss you cuz....Tommy..... To Uncle Charlie, Donna, Mary Lou and Susie... This is mind boggling to lose a sister, daughter. I can't even express my deepest sorrow for your loss.

MOM and DAD
What do i say we were so lucky to have had such a great relationship with the two of you. Not many children have the chance to be so close with both of their parents. I will miss you both more than you will ever know. But the one thing i do know is that you are in a much better place and i will see you both again. For now please watch over Amber, Charlie, and I and the grandkids and know that we are sticking together just like you would want. I love you two more than anything and will miss you so much. I will keep my memories of you in my heart. I'm not saying good bye just see you later love you mom love you dad

Cheri and Ron, we love you so much and will forever hold you in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Ron, you have made Cheri happier than I had seen her since she was little.
Cheri, even though I told Dad to take you back to the hospital and get me a brother, I'm so very glad I had you for a while. We shared so many wonderful years, some harder than others, but we always somehow managed to get through and usually ended up laughing about it.
I will long to hear you laugh and Ron I will long to see you smile until we are together again.

The news today at the loss of my friend Cheryl today breaks my heart. Cheryl and I worked together at Home Depot in Long Beach some 15 years ago. She was a beautiful and kind person who had a heart as large as the ocean. I will truly and deeply miss you my friend.

My sympathy goes out to her children and her grandchildren. May God's love and mercy help to comfort you in this time.

This has been a very difficult time for my family and I'm sure it will take a long time to heal. Fortunately, there are many people here who loved Cheri and will help the family as they continue to grieve her loss. Thank you to all who have and will continue to sign her guestbook. For me, I will miss her sweet face, lovely smile and wonderful laugh. But the wonderful memories of days gone by will remain forever. Rest in peace my sweet baby sister.

My love forever and always.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

My heart and prayers go out to all those who were close to Cheryl Black. Cheryl was a dedicated employee at the Depot and she always showed such love for her children when I worked with her. Cheryl used to be the Christmas tree guru, I would refer her to as Martha Stewart. Cheryl and Jackie were a team and where there was one there was the other. You two were dedicated friends and from the rest of us your friendship was truly beautiful, no matter what, you guys had each other's back, very rare today in our society. I am truly sad and my heart goes out to Cheryl's beautiful family, she loved her kids soooooooo much, she was so proud of each of you! I am sure although I was not around to see Cheryl be a grandmother for very long, I know that she was the best grandma a child could ever know. Cheryl Black will be missed by many, and she had an impact on me.

I felt very fortunate to have worked with Cheryl for so long. She made a difficult job fun almost everyday. She was so much more to me than just a good co-worker. We shared so many things, we joked that we were long lost sisters. I know she loved her children and grandchildren very much and they brought great joy into her life. My thoughts and prayers will be with them during this difficult time.

U. Charlie & A. Donna it is very hard to say good-bye to your children. I did not know Cheri very well when she lived in Chowchilla but I do remember that she was a very good mother to Amber and a loving daughter and sister. I know that you have a big void in your heart to fill. Remember that you have lots of family and very close friends that are standing by you. We love you all very much. Susie, Mary Lou, Jodee, Mary and Lisa I will keep you in my prayers. Losing a sister has got to be the hardest thing. Remember the good things about Cheri, share them with her children and grandchildren and her memory will live on. Please call us if you need anything.
Our Love,
Shellie, Norman, Amanda and Jerod Kuhr
