Claudia was a star before she was an angel.

Her posts early on in my BC journey really made a difference.  Her creativity made me smile so many times and her kindness and courage always showed through.  She managed the ornament exchange for 2 years before her cancer returned.  She continued to post but less often due to the effect of her treatments.  I thought of her often and will continue to think of her and the comfort and joy she gave us.  What a spectacular soul she is and will continue to be our angel, Chen.

Love to Reggie and all those who love her.

I also had the good fortune to meet Claudia

and Reggie here in Phoenix in person.  What a wonderful, loving couple they were.  Chen's light emanated from her.  She encouraged, comforted and provided wonderful knowledge to me from the first day I came on here--probably 3 years ago, afraid, crying and feeling helpless.   I feel a deep sense of sadness for Reggie, Siohban and all of her family and close friends, as well as sadness and great loss for all of us here on CSN.  She was one of a kind--the BEST kind.

 

We will miss you, dear Chen, but you'll always remain in our hearts.

 

Love and hugs, Renee

I so wish that I had the opportunity to meet Chenheart in person at the luncheons and gatherings that have taken place~it was with envy that I observed online the pictures of you all enjoying each others company~ My heart is heavy with the loss to our community here, and for her family and loved ones~ My soul senses the peace that comes with knowing that struggle and suffering are no more~

Fly high precious one~

She will always be with us

I'm so sad to hear this news.   Chen touched so many lives, including mine.  I'm honored to have met her and Reggie in Sacramento 2 1/2 years ago.  I remember she was getting ready to do a 10K (or something like that) at that time.  She was definitely one of a kind and her words and experiences will live on.  My love to Reggie and Sioban as they continue without her.  What a wonderful prsence she had.  A true Kindred Spirit.

Peace Unto You

The 50 Ft Warrior Woman is at rest.  No more pain, no more drugs to bother with.  She was an amazing woman who had a zest for life, an uplifting spirit, and a witty way with words.  I had the pleasure of meeting her twice.  She had a larger than life personality and a contagious smile.

God grant her ever lasting peace.  God bless her family.

It is with great sadness that

It is with great sadness that I read this post. Chen was always here for everyone, day after day and year after year. Even tho it was posted a few days ago that she was in hospice, it was hard to think that she was so close to ending this part of her journey. She worked so hard to encourage and inspire all of us and she will live on in our hearts. She left a legacy all who knew her and she will be missed greatly. My thoughts and prayers go out to her Reggie and Siobahn and the rest of her family. May they find comfort and peace knowing that she made a difference in so many lives. She was loved by all of us here on the board. Until we meet again dear Chen, Much Love, Sunrae

I was not one of the

I was not one of the fortunate ones to actually physically meet Chen, but always felt I was in the same room with her each time she posted.  She was amazing in every way.  I will miss her.  She taught me so much about courage and humor in the face of fear.  I send my heartfelt sympathies to her family who she loved so much.

Dear Claudia

I am very saddened to read this news. Claudia was such a strong woman and a wonderful example to all of us. My prayers are with her family who she loved more than anything else.

This is a sad day. Our Claudia has gone home. She now flies with her new wings and I'm sure will be a Guardian Angel to many. I will miss you forever and see you someday. You help me through some tough times RIP Claudia.

Our Dear Chenheart

While reading this post, I couldn't help but think of what Saint Peter did when our angel steppped in front of him at the Pearly Gates.  He told her that they had been waiting on her for several weeks, as there were so many prayers sent to heaven to guide her from her earthly body, to the steps of Heaven.  He expressed his gratitude for all of those who followed her every word, and was excited to put a face to her name (although there were so many names she was called.   Claudia, Chen, Chenheart, 50 Foot Woman, and more importantly, Friend).  He apologized to Chen and told her that God would be along soon, but he was resting from listening to the many prayers coming from her friends, family and loved ones.  However, her office was waiting for her, right next to God's office, so that he could help her with all of the thank you notes she would write to those she left behind. 

 

Rest well, dear Chen, and know that one day we will all be with you.  Can you imagine the sleepovers we will have, laughing at each and every new story told by the Kindred Spirits as they arrive.  Your family is missing you right now, and they are saddened by your passing.  However, deep inside there are smiles that you are finally at peace and out of pain.  We miss you with all of our hearts, and will once again laugh and giggle with you when we each reach the destination you are seeing now.  For me, you were my prop, as you were for so many.  Smile down on us, and each time I see a sunbeam coming from the skies I will know it is

you sending a special greeting to us all.  Hugs to you, and sending your Reggie, Siohbon and your extended family hope for the future.  Having been a personal part of your life, I know they must be experiencing a tremendous loss.  My thoughts are with you all.  Rest dear Chen.  See you soon.  Judy

Angel Chen

I haven't posted in a very long time, but I still come here periodically to see how everyone is doing.  Today's visit was positively heartbreaking. Like many of you, Chen was always there with an answer, supportive words or something to say that would make me smile.  I felt like she was a guide I could always trust in this process to give me perspective and encouragement. I'm trying to take comfort in knowing there is a 50 ft Guardian Angel out there on our side now!

But she will be terribly missed. My prayers for her and her family and for all of you in this loss.

Our Dear Chen

"We do what we have to do so we can do what we want to do."  This was one of my favorites and have it on my FaceBook Page.    I will always miss our wonderful kindred, there aren't enough words to describe how much she meant to me.  I'm a better person for having her in my life.  I never got the chance to meet her in person, only through CSN & FaceBook.  I still look at my phone expecting to see a text from her.  I'm thankful she is no longer in pain, but selfish because I never wanted her to leave us.  Reggie & Siobhan, you have my deepest sympathy.  I feel like I know you both from hearing so many wonderful stories about you from Claudia.    God gives us family so we can hold each other close when it's time for one of us to leave.

 

Love, Hugs and Prayers,
Debi

She certainly left

footprints that only a 50 foot woman could!

 

May she rest in eternal peace.

It is one of the saddest days

It is one of the saddest days for me also. Chen was my first contact here. She made me feel so welcome and wanted here. My prayers are for her and her family.  May she like so many others help pave the way to heaven for the rest of us.

With great sorrow,Diana

Posting

Kathi, I would be honored for you to repost my post regarding Chen.  I am still reeling with her passing, and have honestly been devoid of signing in to CSN because I couldn't help but look for her posts.  Thanks for reading my words, as they were written from my heart.  Hugs,  Judy

I am deeply  sorry for your loss. Siobhan I recently lost both my parents and it was heartwrenching. I am comforted in the fact that I know they are still watching over me, hugging me and holding my hand when I need them. I know one day I will be with them again but I still miss them. You had a wonderful mother. Although I never met her in person Claudia was the sweetest most thoughtful person I have ever met. Even when she was going through the worst, she gave of herself. Everyone on here can atest to that.

Reggie we all know how much she loved you. From everything Chen said were, I'd like to clone you. You sound like an amazing man and I'm glad that she had you with her to take care of her and give her all the love caring that we on this board wish we could have done for her. She gave so much to each of us in some way. Her words, her ornament exchange, her love of life. She was truly a giant among us and we will always be grateful that you shared her with us.

We will always be here for you, please let us know how you are doing. Know that there is no doubt that Claudia already has her angel wings and is watching over you. I am so sorry for your loss. The world is a much better place for having had Chen in it. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. Take care.

Helen
