To Mom,
I've always felt attached to you. We've had our many ups and dozvns throughout the
years, most oj which I can't even recall what they were about and some that IIt never
understand. 'Even though growing up has not been easy for me at atf, I've survived and I can
truly say that I couldn't have done it without your help. 'Despite some misunderstandings,
you've always been therefor me to give me support and guidance. I thanf^Qod that you are stiff
here zoith me to continue to guide me a little while (onger before I go off to college. Even
though it's hard to be your kid because of the extremely high e?(pectatums that you set for me, I
know that you mean wetland that nothing but success and happiness can come from it. Thanks
for all of the love and support that you've showered upon me throughout the years.
Love,
Cherice A. Cochrane
<To My Cherice, My Angel,
'Before you were born, I would never have dreamed how much I would love you
but then along you came, my brown sugar angel,and there was this feeling that just overpowered
me. I looked at you, so proud T could hardly believe it. Afeeling that hasn't left me since. And
now, though you 're gone you 're stilt my angel I know I 'Usee you again when my life comes to
an end. Cherice I love you dear, I only wish that you were here.
Love,
Mom
To My Jriend, My sister,
godgave me two shoulders to carry my burdens, a creative mind to figure out solutions,
and a strong heart to weather disappointments. I have yet one more tool to successfully face
anything this world can throw my way: Qod gave me a sister. Cherice was a special gift from
god. tier love shines as a bright jewel. tier fondness is a star in the darkness of night, with a
turinkle of its light, your life is blessed forever. I treasure the time I was given with Cherice. tier
happiness meant the world to me and I lived to see the smile on her face. I cannot deny that,
now that I am zvithout her company, I feel deprived of a very dear sister and have lost half of
myself . Cherice was the best part of me, a joy to love. She matured into a very special,
wonderful and great young lady, tier death has helped me to see her overwhelming value on
this earth as well as my own. I know Cherice wilt be zvith me f orever and her presence mil help
me thrive and grow. I witl treasure our sweet memories as they urill provide great comfort in
knouring that we had a very special, loving relationship during our time lure on earth together.
Love,
Camilte
Our Tribute
How can we say thanks for the things you have done for us?
Things so underserved; yet you gave to prove your love for us;
The voices of a million angels could not express our gratitude.
All that we are, and ever hope to be;
We owe it all to you.
To God be the glory,
To God be the glory,
To God be the glory,
For the things she has done.
With His blood, He has saved us,
With His power He has raised us;
To God be the glory
For the things she has done.
Just let us live our lives
Let them be pleasing, Lord, to Thee;
And if we gain any praise, Let it go to Calvary.
With His blood He has saved us,
With His power He has raised us;
To God be the glory
For the things she has done.
