From CO Joe Keller's case.

Watching this case and the conversations around it unfold has been an amazing experience. I am re-astounded at how uncertainty can motivate people (including myself) to invent (and cast) malefactors, however unlikely, to populate way-out-there theories when we don't like the probable reality. The need for an enemy is weird, but understandable in those directly touched by loss. The loss is incomprehensible, but I'm glad its cause no longer is. I hope that certainty will do something to dull the pain of loss.

My thoughts exactly on this case. I only wish I we longer felt uncertainty but I believe we can experience closure.

Stryker, thank you for your invaluable addition to our understanding.

Stryker,

From the beginning. My husband, who is a patient at SCCA, he thought Cheryl looked familiar after watching the news, and 3 months of every day having to be at SCCA for a Stem Cell Tranplant. Fred Hutch is next door. I constantly looked for updates on what happened to Cheryl, and why it happened. Your Mom's work at Fred Hutch
research in stem cells , gives patient a fighting change at survival. She was a wonderful person. She will always have a special place in our hearts. Stryker your Mom
did so much good. She will be missed.

Stryker, we appreciate the fact that you came on here and shared things with us about your mom, even though you don't know us personally. That is remarkable. We all felt love and concern for your mom and family, and it means a lot to me to know that your family has good memories and I especially appreciated the picture of the memorial.

Thought I would share this slideshow being the 1 year Anniversary she went missing. For those that didn't follow this case she was found deceased 2/14/2016, from an apparent suicide.

Such a wonderful slideshow of your mom, Stryker. What a lovely lady she was. I will never believe she committed suicide. I am so sorry for you and your father's loss. May time ease the pain for you both.

I'm sure all the animals in Heaven are enjoying your presence, Cheryl. You're missed here on Earth.

I've often thought about you. I wonder if you had recently received some bad health news and didn't want the family going through that. Of course depression is such a beast....anything and yet nothing can set it on it's course of destruction. Having battled it most of my life, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I know it's not my right to accept or not....yet I still have questions about the events leading to your death. I still feel uneasy with the suicide ruling, yet, I have nothing to state why.

My love and prayers to her family and friends.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful celebration of your mother's life with us, stryker. It is clear that your mother had many adventures in her life. I hope that these great memories bring you solace as you cope with the loss of your mom. Peace to you and your family.

Amen, 2Hope4, amen. Great post.
I have been battling depression as far back as I can remember. I also have memories as a child (7, 8, 9, 10 years old) begging God to kill me while I slept and wishing a car would run me over. I don't know who, what, when and why my depression started (maybe because of the actions of my mum) but I do know it has ruled my life. I don't take meds for it and because so, just about every minute of every day is a battle.
Cheryl lost her battle, or did she, and is so missed. I wish I knew her personally, I'm sure I would be a better person because of it.
I think of you often, Cheryl.
Godspeed. [emoji253]
