Lela asked me to contact you thursday but I could noy leave her.She was admited to the hospital At 3am thursday the 14th.diagnosed with tylanol toxicty.liver funtions were abnormal.I did not leave her..we were in the hospital until friday the 15th around 6;30 when she was medivaced to vanderbiult medical ICU Kidney tranplant team....they had the facalities to try to help her..her liver counts were off the charts.Her liver had shut down by then and soon after her kindneys were distresed so that they started dialysis and then her kidneys completely failed followed by pulmonary edema and then her haert finally failed and she passed away around noon on Sunday the 17 th.this happened so suddenly that i still canot omprehend....surreal.!She was sarene and precciose as always when she was lucid.She was in a coma by the time we got here too vanderbiult.and never regained consciousness.
Lela loved the Forum garden and happily got her picture taken in her forum shirt.Looked forward too the chats,etc.If any one wants too do spme thing,the family has requested donations in her memory to ASPCA or Vanderbiult ICU in nashville Tenn.Please pass this info on to other forum garden freinds God bless.

Ok,Just so you know ,I am so with out words right now.I spent many hours with her in the chat room,chatting about the most wonderful things and we made each other laugh and cry.We truly were making plans,if nothing else but just too meet and have a drink.I have never got into a cyber friendship like I did with her,she was truly a very unique person and i will miss her fore ever and always wonder what could have been..God bless you Lela,I will never love another. like i did you.
For what it's worth I chatted with her on the 13th and she was very happy that night and was in a good frme of mind.I left at 11;58 that night,I am beside myself that i might be the last rom here too speak too her,I should have picked up the phone and spoke with her.three hours later her ordeal began.How bad do I feel?
All I'm saying is look around oyu and love what you got.before it's gone.

Cheshire. Lela. I find this so hard to take in. I have not long logged on having been out for the evening.
Cheshire. A vibrant caring soul who loved her animal charges so much. Who will love them now as Lela did?
Shweet. Thanks for telling us. And let me say how sorry I am. You must be feeling really bad now. So sudden. So quick.
Oh, Lela. May God bless you. You brought light and laughter to this community. I, we all will miss you.
I will be looking for the new star in the sky.

I'm not really sure what to say about this, except that it is a very sad moment and I want to just say I'm sorry for the poor girl herself, her family, and all those who knew her and were close friends both here at FG and elsewhere. A tragic event, how awful.

Being new here I didn't have the honour of meeting her.
I do know how hard it is to lose someone we love though.
May her memory live on forever in those that held her close.
Rest In Peace Cheshire :yh_flower

I've just got back from walking the streets, trying to take it all in. Such a tragedy, such a waste.
I cannot stop from crying but I think of her family and how much more devistating it must be for them. There are no words to describe the pain they must be feeling - my heart goes out to them.
Why? Why should this be?
It is so wrong

Being new here I did not have the pleasure in getting to know her. By reading this post it sure looks like she was loved by all.My heart goes out to all that knew her.

She will be missed.
I will really miss her,Often the raeson for comeing here at times,No offense to anyone,but I really felt for this girl,she was a light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
I can't get a hold of Cher,she will be beside herself aswell.
I am numb,my weights sit still tonite because I can't get this out of my head.I don't miss awork for nothing.I see her every where.I am tempted too call her phone and maybe perhaps hear her vioce,but that would make me braek down.

I'm incredibly sorry to hear that....
I didn't speak with C.C. much, but I am quite positive she was very lovely....
Life can go unexplained sometimes.....I wish her entire family comfort.

This is the second time since May that I have lost an online friend to death. The first was expected, but this was not. I am quite upset now.

She was really crazy about you Tater, she used to pm me and talk about how much she liked you and really sweet you are. I feel physically ill at the moment. She was one of the first friends I made here at FG and we had so much fun playfully flirting at the Bothwell Pub and talking about animals. It's hard to believe I never met her in person and yet am so torn up by her passing. It's so unfair she was such a light to all of us here. I still can't accept it..

All I know is that Tylanol toxicity was mentioned,I don't know causes that.Or if it anything too do with the meds she was getting from her dentist.I hope the family has quetions and lets me know.
