This memorial website was created in memory of our beloved, Chelsi Ann Ichrist, 26, born on September 7, 1989 and left us on June 4, 2016. Daughter, granddaughter,, sister, niece, cousin, friend, soulmate ~ You are missed more than words could ever express. Your wit, intelligence, creativity through music and writing, beauty and love are forever in our hearts. We love you until eternity.
Thinking of you all on Chelsi's Birthday. Hugs and love to you.
I didn't know you personally, but through your mom I found out we have the love of mountains in common! I'm surrounded by the mountains that you loved! Every now and then, when I look at them and think of the poem I wrote, I invariably think of you. I'm pretty sure the Spirit of the Mountains is talking to me when that happens :-) ! I wanted to let you know that YOU are the reason that a lot of good things have happened, even to people, whose lives you didn't even know you touched. Be at peace!
Missing you
I spend so much time reflecting on why you left, why I'm still here, and what the hell it all means. Why is life so hard? Is it all just conditioning for our final hour? That's my current theory at least...
It's taken me a while, and even though I was never mad at ya, don't take this gratitude the wrong way. More than anything I wish you'd stayed, but thank you for this challenge Chelsi.
I can't help seeing your sweet sleeping face in my minds eye. If only chat had never died, maybe, just maybe...
It's so hard not to wonder, what if? Ya know? If only things could have been that simple.

Love. Love. Love.
I need to know what it is you're trying to tell me. Please find a way to make it crystal. I know you're out there. I feel that pull, still a magnet, like you always were.
It's been hard having faith in this fight. I could really use your guidance.
You are missed and beautiful memories of you are shared by many. We are blessed to have your loved ones surround us as a constant reminder of you.... continue to shine through each of them. xoxo
I made it ~ a whole year without you. We are all holding you in our hearts where you'll be forever more. I Love and miss you so much. Please keep showing me the way.
All My Love,
Your Ma

I hope you are fulfilled, wherever you are.
I have not had the honor to meet Chelsi but have heard of your love and appreciation for her through you during my Reiki trainings. I know you are loving and strong. I know you will get through this with the love of surrounding family and friends. You, Chelsi and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest Chelsi,
Such a precious time we shared together; as children we were little dreamers. I am so happy to have known you, and I am so thankful that you shared your beautiful light with so many amazing people.
There is still so much we can dream.
PS. I met your son Atlas for the first time in May, he is a little love.. I promise to be one of the many people who will love Atlas and share stories with him about his beautiful mummila.
I am deeply saddened by your tragic loss. I always seen Chelsi with great smiles, joyful, vibrant and full of energy. A very colorful, artist and loving person will be missed.
May those beautiful yesterdays always remain in your heart, and your sorrow gently fade away.
It Talks To Me
From the lush Appalachians and the Blue Ridge to the snow capped spires of the Rockies and the Cascades, the Spirit of the Mountains talk to me.
From the wolves and coyotes howling, to the roar of a mountain lion or the grunt of a bear, the Spirit of the Mountains talk to me
From a fish breaking water in a mountain lake, to the sight of an eagle or a hawk flying in high in ever expanding circles, the Spirit of the Mountains talk to me
To see a sunrise bring a valley meadow to life or the setting sun turn a snow capped peak bright orange as if on fire, the Spirit of the Mountains talk to me
My sunrises and sunsets have come to pass, the peace of the mountains have embraced me, and I realize I am one with the Spirit of the Mountains. Can you hear me talking to you?
Leave a Tribute








This photo is great!!
This photo of Chelsi was so catching, I had to research and find the location. While in Asheville last November, I met up with my neice at the Wedge Brewery. She's an artsy fartsy girl and knew she would know. And right off the bat, she did. It's a mural on the wall in Chicken Alley, downtown Asheville. Located at the intersection of Woodfin Street and Chicken Alley. http://ashevillestay.com/chicken-alley/
