Sherry Cermak
December 2, 1948 to July 20, 2008

Sherry was born in Pascagoula, Mississippi, grew up in Illinois, and
made Davis, California her home for the past 28 years. She died of a
sudden heart attack on July 20, 2008.

Sherry graduated with High Honors from UC Davis in 1985, and from UCD’s
School of Law in 1988. After a brief career as an Attorney, Sherry found
her true calling as a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and blogger. Her
blog "What Did You Eat?" is a popular site with wonderful recipes and
photographs of food she has creatively prepared. The weekend postings
are updates on the life of her cats and rescued wildlife.

Sherry was cherished and loved by her family and many friends. She will
be greatly missed.

Sherry is survived by her husband of 37 years, Bob Cermak; brother Frank
Cunningham III, and several loving cousins, aunts and uncles, and her
mother-in-law Margaret (Bunty) Cermak.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, July 26 at 10 a.m. at
Unitarian Universalist Church of Davis, 27074 Patwin Rd., with a
reception to follow at the church.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Sherry’s
name to the Wildlife Care Association
<http://www.wildlifecareassociation.net/>. Those who wish to sign a
guestbook online may do so at Wiscombe Funeral
<http://www.wiscombefuneral.com/>.

Also here is an update on Laura and the squirrels:  Laura is being
lovingly looked after by family but is missing her mom terribly.  The
squirrels are in the gentle hands of other volunteers in the area who
worked with Sher as a wildlife rehabilitators.

Okay, into my second day of vacation and KC’s 2nd Gotcha Day, I woke up — really late — ready to post some great news. What I found was complete chaos on the CB.

I am trying to put things together, which normally isn’t easy for me and even more challenging when you are on high doses of anti-anxiety drugs. That said, I must apologize because this entire fiasco is my fault.

Robyn and Michelle (DKM) were thoughtful and came up with the idea of my taking a week off to rest. Stress was affecting my day-to-day life, with the sudden death of a close friend, preparations for back taxes, dealing with my hubby’s paralysis, watching Margaret’s battle against pancreatic cancer, the fundraisers, a friend with problems she couldn’t handle, just everything seemed to hit at one time.

In theory, they had a great idea. But they did not count on me, while overtly accepting the vacation, hanging on covertly. 

Robyn was stepping into the far background of CB due to health reasons. Michelle and I were getting ready to start running the CB together. We had some areas to discuss, mainly what gets posted and how due to space constraints. We had planned to discuss this after my vacation. But of course, I couldn’t let go and kept trying to run things from my "vacation" headquarters.

For the record, two things should be made clear. Michelle removed the post about Deb’s illness because she was concerned about Deb’s privacy. I was never asked to remove it from the CB. And I never felt that Michelle was attempting to "take over" the Cat Blogosphere.

The CB is, always has been, and always will be Robyn’s. It came from her heart and soul and that was what made it so wonderous. To those who think Robyn didn’t do anything since she wasn’t always posting, there is a ton of technical work that goes on in the background. It is Robyn that kept all that going, day after day. It’s not like a blog, where you just set it up and go.

It gave my little KC a platform to show her stuff as a reepurrter, which she was very proud to do. I like to think we made a good team. We really enjoyed it.

I’m not going to make any decisions about the future of CB right now, it is very upsetting to me. I will allow the days to post blank, unless another reepurrter wants to jump in and add things, and the linkies will be there for everyone to use.

If you have any comments to make, please leave them in the comment section. Stop harassing Michelle and Robyn. All they have done is all they ever did, just try to help and create a good place for us to gather. I cannot believe, do not want to believe, that someone would make death threats to Fiona and Orlando. If there are threats to be made, they should be directed toward me. I’m the one who messed everything up.

Some people come into our lives

    and quickly go.

Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us

    to new understanding
    with the passing whisper of their wisdom

Some people make

      the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.

    They stay in our lives for awhile,

      leave footprints on our hearts

    And we are never, ever the same.

~Flavia

Dear Fellow Weekend Cat Bloggers, It is with a very, very heavy heart that I have some sad news to pass on to everyone. Sher the wonderful mind behind What Did You Eat and Laura’s lovely mom as well a mom to squirrels and friends to us all passed away very suddenly today. She had a heart attack this morning and could not be revived.

Sher was a friend to Weekend Cat Blogging and a frequent host. She will be missed by not only this community but by those of us in the food blogging community where Sher had many friends. I am proud to have known her as a fellow Daring Baker, Bread Baking Babe, and WCB. As I get more news, especially about Laura and the squirrels, I will pass it on.

With a heavy heart,
Breadchick Mary and LB

Othello, Kashim and their mum, Astrid, will be hosting a special Weekend Cat Blogging this weekend to celebrate Sher.  Also, if you love to cook - the food bloggers will be asking people to select one of Sher’s recipes, prepare it and then post on July 27th in her memory. ~DKM
