Good morning, lovely Ooos.
I am sorry that I have sad news to share. Cheryl emailed me last night to let me know that Chuck passed away yesterday morning. It was peaceful and the family had time to say goodbye. She asked me to tell you the news and to say that she misses us.

Instead of my commentary on silly mishaps and general crankiness, I want to open up this space to reflect on friendship, courage, and the ability to see the light in everything. That is how Cheryl looks at all of this and shares with us every day.

I have said it before, but at times like this, I feel it cannot be said enough. I treasure all of you so very much. I appreciate the support you give this group and the laughter you share with us. I know deep in my heart that Cheryl will feel the love and support we send her today.

Hello my sweet, sweet friends. I'm crying now as I read all of your heartfelt condolences. I'm alone for the first time since my beloved Chuck was finally transported to the funeral home and we saw him for the last time. He passed away peacefully, in his own bed, as was his deepest wish, about 7 AM, to the best of our knowledge. I laid with him until about 4 AM, couldn't go to sleep, got up and was wide awake. Steph was wide awake too, so I fixed us some Sleepy Time Tea. She talked me into going into my bedroom and trying to sleep, which i did. She checked on Chuck about seven am and was pretty sure he was gone. She called Roger, who came right down and confirmed it.

Chuck never wanted any fanfare - he always took care of others. We had quite a fanfare yesterday because they couldn't get to us due to an ice storm. About 3 o'clock, after many attempts by different units to get to us, the county dispatched salt trucks to our property to salt the roads so they could finally get up here.

I love you all and thank you for your concern and good wishes. I'm going to get off of here now and try to answer some emails, phone calls, etc. I've suddenly been inundated with a lot of his old friends and coworkers and it's been heartwarming to know how loved he was.:brokenheart::brokenheart::heartpumpred::heartpumpred:

PS: There will be NO funeral, per his wishes and we made all of the arrangements today for his cremation. So, we just wait for all of the loose ends to be tied up with the state now. We are putting together an online memory page and will do a tribute to Chuck's life, plus enable people to leave comments and upload pictures and other memories. I'll let you all know when the link is available.

LOVE all of you,
Cheryl

@Cherylndesigns Darling! I wish I knew what to say - times like this I really struggle to find the right words in English. But I guess - no matter the language it's impossible to express feelings in words. Just take this HUG and wrap it around you. Wish I could do more, but I'm with you in my thoughts.
