Dear Ruddy, family and friends of Cherrelle, I am so sorry about your loss.  My deepest condolences to you.  Cherrelle generously made such a difference to thousands and thousands of people with diabetes.  Her role was to nurture our online community and made sure it was a warm and supportive place where the information and advice shared by people was valuable.  For many people with diabetes it is the only community where they feel fully understood and safe to share their issues and concerns and triumphs.  Cherrelle was engaging and kind and a true expert in the support that people with a life long condition need.  Cherrelle was also a bubbly and energetic member of our team and we miss her.  Colette
