The picture choosen for Cherie's obituary is nothing less than pure beauty. We send our deepest sympathies to all her family and friends.
Thirty years ago my husband, Bill Quinn, and I, first met each other at a gathering that Cherie had held at her parents house on Grand Ave in Glens Falls. We were all very young back then, careless and fancy-free. I was a friend of Tabitha's and he was a friend of Cherie's. We remember hanging out by the pool, blasting REO Speedwagon from Cherie's bedroom, doing things that all parents don't want their teens doing and making the greatest childhood memories of our lives.
We are very saddened to hear of her death, especially at such a young age and knowing that her two boys and husband have lost such an enormous part of their lives. God Bless and love one another closely. Keep her memory alive for the boys, in years to come, they will need to know who their mother was and how much she loved(s) and cared(s) for them.
I lost my mother at age 14, and from experience I can say that when a child grows into an adult, there becomes many missing pieces and unanswered questions that they will need answered. A child's mind does not handle grief like an adults. They have to construct and built what grief out of nothing and how it should be handled from scratch. A hard enough task for an adult to do, let alone a child.
The best wishes for all of you, and again, we are very sorry for your loss.
