About Chez and Freedom Village as I remember it...................

Chez, Mags and I go back aways, along with a few others in FV. As for Chez I remember having meet her for the first time back on another board called Blairsville.....lets see....that would have been back in 02 if I'm not mistaken. Chez was then known as Cheryl but when many of us moved to Freedom Village Cheryl chose the name Chez so that another member could keep her name, which was also Cheryl.

Chez was only in her quit for a few months when we founded FV. Unfortunately, shortly after the Village was founded there was one conflict after another between people of the Village and with that of another forum, but yet......Chez held firmly to her quit through all the stress on the forums and in her life. Time after time I felt I should give up the very existance of FV. My self esteem often would drop to a dangerous level after so much negative input from others.......but yet.......Chez was always there for me as a friend, giving encouragement to hold to the reasons I started Freedom Village in the first place and to my quit. When I relapsed, she wouldn't judge me for my failure but continued to be a friend for me when I needed someone.

She posted less and less in FV..... life was moving on for our Chez .........she became one of those silent angels in the background who looked over each person who came to the Village.

Chez and I have always been in touch through emails and whenever possible she tries to let others know in FV what a great thing they are doing for themselves when they quit.

As for her charactor.......here is what I have come to learn about my freind who has reached this milestone in her life.....she is a loyal friend, honest, trustworthy, a peace maker, patient and loves all living things. When you've made a friend with Chez...........you've made a friend for life! These gifs will hopefully bring you fond memories from years past (((Chez))).

((((((((Chez)))))))) CONGRATULATIONS my friend for this very special day!
