In Memoriam: Remembering Sher of "What Did You Eat?"

I am so, so sorry for this loss.

I had read her obituary in our local newspaper and knew that she died of a heart attack, so it was a HUGE shock to see that the advertisement that accompanied this entry was for suicide prevention. very, very bad placement!!!

I was not aware of her before her death, but have since gone back and read a lot of her entries and I can see what a big loss this is to the blogging community.  I didn't realize she was apparently a neighbor of mine too.

may she rest well 

I am so saddened by the day we lost someone who could make you laugh and also contribute to food blogging in such a wonderful manner.

I am new to this community, so I didn't know about her before, but I can see from the tributes and comments that she was loved. What a great legacy she leaves behind. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. I pray for her family and friends.

I think very indicative of how mentally connected the food blogging community is that the idea of cooking one of Sher's recipes as a tribute to her seemed to spring up spontaneously from several places. This week food bloggers all over the world will be making one of the recipes from Sher's blog, and then posting the recipe on their own blog on Sunday, July 27. I have just heard that Sher's friend Glenna has offered to add those links to the end of her tribute to Sher so Sher's family and friends can find them. Bloggers who would like their tribute linked with Glenna's post can send the link to marie9949 (at) sbcglobal (dot) net after the post appears on Sunday.)

From reading this it's struck me how much Sherry belonged to so many people as well as her family and friends - a lovely way to be treasured. I hope all who hold her in their hearts find comfort in this.

Kind wishes,

So sad and really upsetting! She was a great cook/baker, blogger and individual!

 I'm going to miss her!

In thoughts with her family and friends...

It's a tremendous loss to the food blogging community, as well as to her entire offline family and community.

I'm spending the day feeling very sad one minute and also wondering why I feel such deep emotion for a friend I never managed to meet. Such is the power of online connections. I featured Sher's photos and recipes many times on BlogHer and considered her to be a really gifted blogger. More than that, I considered her to be a great friend, and I will truly miss her.

We are so sorry to hear of this loss.  As an avid reader of her fine taste in food, I really enjoyed her post on Herbed Turkey Meatballs With Cranberry Sauce ( http://whatdidyoueat.typepad.com/what_did_you_eat/... ).  As a salute to her achievements, I will be cooking these Meatballs for my kids tonight.

Warm regards,
