If not for Cherie and Matt, I don't know where I'd be.
I moved across the street from the Elkins, in June of 2014. We became friends. Cherie and I would go on walks around the neighborhood. We all drink coffee in the morning, way more than once. It was cool hanging out with her. Always there to give a helping hand. A nice person.
Towards the end of November 2015, I came home and found a strange guy in the house with my wife. The cops were there that night and the next day. My now ex-wife drove away with the car we shared. It took a week, give or take, for me to pack what was mine, and move out. The Elkins was such a huge help. Cherie helped me pack. I was glad we all went out and ate before I left. That part was nice.
I still plan on visiting Katy again, one day. In my mind, I had already planned on visiting Cherie and Matt again. I still will visit. Matt and I are 'brothers from another mother'...I'll miss not seeing Cherie.
Sorry I am not able to attend the funeral. I am there in spirit. Condolences to Matt and his family. Hopefully, now Cherie's soul is at rest.
