“I met CeCe through my current best friend, two years ago and I was greeted with a smile. Any time from that moment on, there was a smile and a “heeey”. I saw her the day before the accident and she was excited about her birthday and again, a smile and a “heeey”. God knows, I’m still in shock about her passing and the tragedy, itself. In God’s name, I pray that the family and all friends come together to get through.

I pray that you find comfort in knowing that CeCe is in heaven where there’s no sickness or pain just pure love,joy and happiness. There are no words that can ease your pain. My heart is so heavy for you and your family. Although I’ve never personally met CeCe I’ve known you for many years now and that smile that everyone speaks of I know she had to have gotten that from you because there isn’t a time I’ve seen you and you haven’t worn your smile! May GOD bless you and your family! May the love and prayers from family, friends and those that care see you through! I will keep you all in prayer during this trying time. May the peace of God be with you all. I also send my condolences to Lisa’s family and friends. May God bless and keep them!”
“Yvette, being a parent myself, I imagine there is no pain more far-reaching and deeper than losing a child. Words are not adequate to express the sorrow and hurt that must be in the hearts of you and yours, and by extension now me and mine. Although, I never had the privilege to meet Ce Ce in person, I can see by the many praises from friends and family, she was a shining star, confidant, friend and inspiration to all. Remember, the bonds forged between you and she can never be broken; and they will warm your heart as you remember them. Finally, take some comfort in knowing that Jehovah makes no mistakes and he has a plan that involves each and every one of us. When he calls (how sweet that sound must be) we must go; some go sooner, others go than later, but still, we all must go to my father’s house. So Mote it be! You and your family are in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers. May Jehovah bless and provide for during this time. “
“To the family and friends of Chernica “Ce-Ce” – I did not know this lovely young woman, but I live in the community and read about this tragic and senseless accident, that took the lives of these two young girlfriends. Please know that the community shares your grief. I would like to personally offer my sincere condolences. It saddens me deeply when it appears many do not have appreciation for the sanctity and beauty of life and tragically take others lives while involved in careless behavior. I am sorry that your beloved “Ce-Ce” has fallen asleep in death. God’s word at 1 Corinthians 15:26 calls death a cruel enemy, and the loss of one so young is devastating. I pray that all will be comforted by the words of Job 14:15, “You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.” Yes, Jehovah God yearns to return our loved ones to us and He promises to do so at John 5:28,29. Please take a moment and read these scriptures which provide us comfort at times like this. During this difficult time, may all be comforted by the wonderful hope expressed at Revelation 21:4: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. Neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Until then family, hold fast to your dear memories and the hope of being reunited with “Ce-Ce” again soon as promised by our God. “
“Me and Cece met about 3 yrs ago thru a mutual friend and never thought much of anything then but as time went on our friendship grew fast and she became like a sis to me from me going to her for relationship advice and her telling me “bo I shut up you know you love that girl”, to our late nite ice cream runs …It was a blessing and an honor to have known you lil sis and I am going to miss you thanks for being my rock when I needed you .”
“My deepest condolences to CeCe’s family and friends. What a tragic event that took the life of two beautiful young girls. No one knows why, but God must have plans for them in heaven. She will be watching over you. May God bless you all.”
“”To Yvette, Erica, Lakisha and Family: Words alone can not express the sadness that those close to you are feeling for the passing of CeCe. May you all find comfort in knowing that you are not alone, family and friends will support you at this time of sadness. May God bless you and your family.”
“I met CeCe threw my son Hassan. CeCe always smiling and joking with me. I will miss CeCe. My prayers are with you all.”
“TO MIDGE/PLEAS I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THIS DIFFICULT TIME IS PUTIN YOU THROUGH. MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOULL. BUT THROUGH IT ALL GOD MAKE NO MISTAKES MAY GOD BE WITH THE BOTH OF YOU DURING THIS TIME OF HEARTACHE AND PAIN THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL ANGEL I MUST SAY IM PROUD TO CALL CECE MY NIECEY. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS… CAN GOD? GOD CAN! LOVE YALL”

“To the Family, I did not know your beautiful “Ce-Ce”, however I wanted to share my deepest sympathy with you all. Hearing of this tragic accident made me want to reach out and comfort her family. I will pray that GOD will help you all to bear your heavy hearts a little easier. Take comfort in knowing others are thinking and praying for you. God Bless you “ALL””
“To the family; I pray that you find strength and comfort in the Lord & in each other. I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve lost someone that you all love so dearly. I will keep you all in my prayers.In difficult moments seek GOD; In painful moments trust GOD;In every moment THANK GOD!”
“To the family of this beautful girl,may the memories that she left behind live on in your hearts forever. I am truly sorry for your loss even though I didn’t know her. May she rest in peace.”
“To the Family of this beautiful young woman, my prayers are with you during this very difficult time. I, too lost a daughter at a very young age, it helps to do things that honor her memory. It does not have to be big things just things you know she would have loved – in her memory. It helped me. Take care.”
“”Yvette, we send our heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this very sorrowful time.” Joseph & Zelma Somerville”
“To CeCe’s Family: If answers seem out of reach, GOD isn’t. If daylight seems out of view HOPE isn’t. If healing seems a long way off, CARING isn’t. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers during this sorrowful time.”
“My Condolence to the Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. I did not know this young lady, but my Kids did (LaToya and Andrew Sewell) and they spoke very highly of her and I could tell she would be deeply missed. Hold on to God’s unchanging hand, just hold on, God will see you though.”
“To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. To Midge I offer you my deepest sympathy to you at this difficult time, I can’t even imagine what you and my brother are feeling right now, wishing that you were closer so that you could have felt the love and warmth that has been shown by many family members and friends. Keep your head up and know that God makes no mistakes and he only takes the “BEST” Rest In Peace CeCe..We loved you but God loved you best!!!!!! “
“I am so sorry for your loss. Words can not express the sorrow I feel for your family. My daughter loved her like a sister. God bless you and your family.”
“My prayers are with you all at this time. Remember the good times and it will make the hurt a little less and remember GOD WILL BE WHATEVER YOU NEED HIM TO BE AT THIS TIME. IT IS OK TO CRY, CRYING IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL. WE LOVE CC VERY MUCH AND WILL TRULY MISS HER LOVE AUNT STINE THE QUEEN”
“My heart and prayers go out to the family. I didn’t know CeCe but it still hurts to see someone so young leave this way.”
“I almost knew Cece almost like a sister I never had and I am sorry for your loss I was upset when my great-grandmother passed away and I will keep her on my mind for a life time. I will have a decal made for her to put on my van. I hope you will remember her for a life time because I have her obituary in the County Times and I will keep it for a long time.”
“My Deepest Sympathy to the family & friends of Chernica, I did not know her personally, but, my heart goes out to everyone, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Whether we face death, discouragement, loss or pain, we can take great comfort in knowing that no sorrow is too deep that GOD cannot feel it with us. Hold on to your precious memories. God Bless! “
“My condolence goes out to Midge,family and friends. I met CeCe through my sister Cindy and her daughter Kia three years ago and I was greeted with a beautiful smile and a hug. We all laughed, talked and ate we had so much fun. Ce-Ce was a very postive, helpful, pleasent, loving and caring person with a smile. I will pray to Jehovah God to give you and your family the strength to help and encourage each other in this time of need. Midge draw close to God in prayer and the Bible promises that “God himself will sustain you” Psalm 55:22. Ce-Ce will be missed.”
“It is hard to express in words how sorry I am to hear about such a tragic accident that cost Cee-Cee her life. While I didn’t know her, it deeply saddens me that such a beautiful young lady’s life was cut so short. My heart goes out to the family. The bible holds out a wonderful hope of seeing our loved ones again that we have lost in death back here in a beautiful paradise earth where Cee-Cee will have a chance to be reunited with her family and live forever “John 5:28&29.” Certainly, a loving God would never take a love one from us, though he sometimes gets the blame. The bible in Romans 5:12 tell us why such bad things happen. It points out that through one man (Adam), death entered into the world, and that is why we die. But Romans 6:23 tells us that the gift God will give us one day is everlasting life. How we long for that time! In the meanwhile, my prayers are with the family for I can only imagine that this must be a terrible nightmare to you all.”
“Today was the day that we said “see you later” to an amazing young woman. CeCe, whenever you came to my house with my lil sis Chan you always lit up the room. I didn’t have to see you to know that it was you walking through the door. I just listened for the way you would say “Summer Joi”! There will be so many fond memories of you in my heart and I want you to know that Chan is going to be ok. She thought of you as her big sister and you did the job very well. To CeCe’s family, GOD has his angel and she will make him smile just as she did us. Love you CeCe!!”
“Cedar Lane Apts. #1309 I was so very, very shocked when I saw CeCe’s and Lisa’s picture on the bulletin board on the 5th of August. Lisa had just served me a to-go dinner the night before about 2 hours before their accident. I asked what was going on and someone told me that they had been in a car accident the night before killing both instantly! I am just truly sorry for the family of both girls, so young and so beautiful! I am praying for the coping for all the family members and friends. This must really be a difficult time for you now. The Lord is Perfect and ALLOWED that truck to hit 2 cars and then head-on with Lisa and CeCe. It’s so difficult to understand, but He is so absolutely Perfect in everything! Something surely will come out of it! In Christ Jesus, Nellie Austin May the Lord Bless you Bountifully with His Holy Comfort. My favorite verse: I Corinthians 3:10–He doesn’t allow us to suffer/bear any “problem” that He will not be right there with us to help us bear it”.–“my translation!!””
“Yvette: My condolences on the loss of your beautiful daughter. I remember when I had started working for the ARC part-time, I met your daughter she was a little girl at that time and so sweet and beautiful. My heart truly goes out to you. May God bless and keep you and your family during this difficult time. I will be praying for you. Love you”
“I sorry for your lost I lost Lisa in the same accident.”
“Love you Ce-Ce and miss you.. I still can’t get over that your gone. Its been 4 long months, almost Christmas and your not here wit us, your friend, and most importantly, your family. Not a day goes by that I dont think of you. I have you pics all through my home and car in rememberance of you. I hope you keep watching over me and my family. R.I.P Babygirl!”
