Thank you Sir.

Awe...

Hello all,

This is my first post on this forum, and I assure you I am not snooping. I just wanted to pass on my gratitude on behalf of my family.

Today my nan informed me of the kindness and generosity of you all in aid of my aunts funeral. I cannot put into words how overwhelmed we all are. You are wonderful people, and we all know you had a special place in Cheryl's heart.

I'd like to leave you with the poem I have chosen and will be reading tomorrow:

Think of me as one at rest,
For me you should not weep,
I have no pain, no troubled thoughts,
For I am just asleep.
The living, thinking me that was,
Is now forever still,
And life goes on without me now,
As time forever will.

If your heart feels heavy now,
Because I've gone away,
Dwell not long upon it friend,
As none of us can stay.
Those of you who liked me,
I sincerely thank you all,
And those of you who loved me,
I thank you most of all.

And in my fleeting lifespan,
As time went rushing by,
I found some time to hesitate,
To laugh, to love, to cry.
Matters it now if time began,
If time will ever cease.
I was here, I used it all,
And now I am at peace.

Well hello Abigail. That is a beautiful poem and I'm certain your aunt would have love it!
I know I do. Thank you so much for visiting us here. Your aunt will be sorely missed...
Hugs to all - especially your grandmum. <3

Thank you Abigail, it is very nice of you to stop in and share this. Our hearts go out to you and your whole family. We are with you in spirit tomorrow, and forever.

Thank you Abigail! I am so sorry that I cannot be there tomorrow to represent how much Sundae meant to us. You will have got a sense of that from this thread. X
Dear Dwellars!
I spoke to Sundae's mum on the phone today and when I told her that the Cellar had contributed £1,250 (around USD 1,400) in Sundae's memory she was overwhelmed. I did express the Cellar wish to help with funeral expenses but Sundae's mum was adamant that the money should be donated to the mental health charity, MIND.
I will do this via the funeral directors and will let you all know the total raised in around three weeks time.
Sundae's mum has said she will send me the order of service and given me permission to share it with you all.
I offered to collect up the Cellar memories and tributes (in this thread and the one that IM started) and send them to Sundae's mum - I hope this will be OK with you guys.

Thank you, Abigail. You're done us a great service, and honored Sundae in in a manner she would have loved. :notworthy

Dear Abigail

I am almost always happy to welcome new members to the cellar. I'm happy to do so now. I *never* do so through a veil of tears. I'm happy to do so now. Sundae was a huge part of the cellar family when she was an active poster, and I am certain she'll remain a huge part of the cellar family in the future, though I expect her posting frequency to drop off dramatically.

I don't know what she's shared with you about us here, but I think we know some about you. Don't you have the adorable little twin boys? She loved you (and the "kittens") very much. Just stuff like that, Sundae shared with us. And around here, she was loved right back. And now you've shared your poem... well. Thanks for that. Give my love and support to your family for me, please.

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to come to us. It reminds me of her.

So nice to meet you, Abigail! Your aunt cared about you very much, and was especially fond of your two little boys. There is no such thing as snooping here, and you would be more than welcome to pop in anytime you like. Thank you for the poem, it is a lovely tribute.

High Abigail, Welcome to the cellar, and we Keryx and and myself Loved your Aunt and worried about her, and prayed for her. So stick around for awhile it might be fun. We like Kittehs.

Welcome, Abigail. We all loved Cherry, and I hope you find us all amusing enough to hang around and see what Dwellars are all about.

We loves us some Sundae, that's for true.

Dear Dwellars,
I received the following account of Sundae's funeral from her mother yesterday.

Sounds wonderful. I'm happy.

A lot of people liked her as much as we did.
