Hey Chelsi. We reconnected a year or so ago at a school reunion. Not only did seeing you bring back a lot of fun memories of playing music and hanging out, but your stories about your adventures since I'd last seen you touched me deeply. You are an inspiration. You reached out and friended me on facebook right after, and even from there, you constantly radiated rare inspirational wisdom and outward to inspire and share with your community. You are a blessing to many, and may our memories of you continue be a blessing for us. <3

Chelsi,

You were like a younger sister to me. There is heartache knowing that we cannot speak with words anymore, but I know that your presence is all around me. You are in every song we listened to, every Taco Bell fire sauce packet, every craig northrup sign i pass, every beautiful breeze that blows, and every flower. I can feel your ghosty hugs, and I am comforted by our memories, our laughs, our long drives. You were one of the most baddass women I have ever met, always strong, and I will carry that on.

Rock on you beautiful lady. m/
Love,
Danielle

In paradisum deducant te angeli,
in tuo adventu
suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te
in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
aeternam habeas requiem.

May the angels lead you into paradise,
may the martyrs receive you
in your coming,
and may they guide you
into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the chorus of angels receive you
and with Lazarus once poor
may you have eternal rest.

REQUIEM aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace. Amen.

ETERNAL rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.

With love and prayers, from Billy, Angela, Jude, & Bernadette

She Let Go

She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear. She let go of the judgments. She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.

She didn’t ask anyone for advice. She didn’t read a book on how to let go. She didn’t search the scriptures. She just let go.

She let go of all of the memories that held her back. She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward. She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right. She didn’t promise to let go. She didn’t journal about it. She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer. She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper. She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope. She just let go.

She didn’t analyze whether she should let go. She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter. She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment. She didn’t call the prayer line. She didn’t utter one word. She just let go.

No one was around when it happened. There was no applause or congratulations. No one thanked her or praised her. No one noticed a thing. Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.

There was no effort. There was no struggle. It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad. It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be. A small smile came over her face. A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone forevermore.

Tracy and family, cathie and I are deeply saddened by your loss, having first meeting Chelsi as an infant when you lived in Ca. We feel your loss, losing a child is I'm sure not easy. May she be blessed in the presence of our Lord and Rest in peace.

Chelsi I did not know you, but I know your mom and those smiles are the same and so infectious. I remember meeting Atlas when he was a tiny babe and thought what a beautiful gift to the world. As you live with us in spirit he will spread your love. "...he grabbed my finger and looked me directly in the eye as if saying "It's you and me Nonna". Light, Love and Prayers to all.

Chelsi,
I only knew you a short time. Met you at the reiki retreat and instantly connected. In Sedona, I tried to reach out as much as I could to offer a loving ear and support. Something in my being told me to just give you love in any way you would be open to it. I never saw this coming. I reached out to you not too long ago and got the privilege of a brief conversation. I'm so happy that I reached out to let you know you were on my mind and that you were very happy to hear that. I know you knew how loved you were by everyone especially your family. And I remember how much love and light you shined so bright. I always had this feeling that I was supposed to believe in you- something great about you- who you wanted to be, who you didn't know you were, and who you were to become- an angel <3 I still believe in you Chelsi. I believe in your journey and the ever expanded being that you are without any limitations. Only love, sister <3 I pray that you know this now- how much love you are <3 I know that you do <3 love always <3

My Daughter, my heart...

The profound sadness of your leaving so soon is daunting. I will always know you by the smell of rose, hearing Bohemian Rhapsody and your whispers while walking with the trees. I love you more than any word could ever express.

Dearest Tracy and family--it is heartbreaking to read this very sad news. Sending you all great love and knowing that your Chelsi is feeling it and sending it too ❤️. Our little cat Spooky made her transition this week too. If Chelsi loved cats, Spooky will be there to greet her and say " Chelsi this is gonna be so much fun! Let me show you what I have discovered!!!!" Tears, sadness, beauty, and love all at the same time . Hugs and many moments of comfort to you all .  xxxx

To the girl with the brightest smile ever and the craziest hair! I am so sad you left so soon. Now the sparkle in your eyes will fill your heart and I know that you now feel the light and love beyond any of your expectations. Thank you for giving the world your baby boy, Atlas, he carries your spirit with him in the best possible way. All my love to you sweetie.
Oh and if a big white dog with brown spots greets you that is Ike! Hang out with him, he's so cool:)

My dear Sweet...I didn't "know" you, but I felt you. We met when I ran into you and your Mom at Facci having lunch with your yummy new-born creation... I felt you when I visited your wellness center in Baltimore. You were not physically there, but I felt you. I have felt you although I have not known you. Right now I hear the music of your light. May the tips of our wings pass again.

RIP to my beautiful sister Chelsi Ann Ichrist. While we didn't see each other as much as we both would have liked, we communicated often via phone or social media. We had a special bond, one that not many people understood. We could talk to each other about anything, and you were always there when I needed advice or simply needed someone to listen. I was heartbroken when I heard the news, and will be for the rest of my life. However, I do know that you are now in a better place. And I know that everyone there will love you, because you are special. Chelsi, you were a once in a lifetime type of person. I will forever remember and cherish the moments that we had together. Simply getting the "I'm proud of you little bro, love you

We spend a goodntwo years in life running the hair game ...you taught me so much about being creative and strong. I shared a very special few moments in time with you...and i wont ever forget them.

Tracy, my words cannot express the sorrow my heart is feeling for you and your family. Chelsi had a spirit that could not be contained by this world. She will live on through Atlas...a blessing beyond belief. My thoughts and prays are with you.

June 7, 2016
I am so sorry for your loss, Tracy and family. Although I did not get to know Chelsi well, I remember seeing the absolute love that shone through her eyes for Atlas, as she played with him at his first birthday party. May Chelsi and her whole family be surrounded and filled with peace, love, and light.

The moment we met I saw your incredible LIGHT behind slightly shy eyes. Within minutes you came to the rescue and ran sound for our concert and all the rest of the Retreat like a seasoned Pro. What a gift your were/are. The mirror you held up was a very powerful one, forcing us all to get a little more real and to examine ourselves a little deeper. A bright STAR has left the Earth and joined those who shine in the Infinite ONEness. I will call your name to the night sky and feel your answer in my heart of hearts. Don and I love you and will never forget you. You were a blessing in our lives. xoxoxoxo

Tracy, I am so very sorry - there are no words to express my sorrow for your loss. I know Chelsi Ann will always be around you and smiling down on you. May you find comfort in that and may the angels comfort you in this time of sorrow. Sending you much love.
June 7, 2016
Oh cupcake, I am so sad....and yet you are called home to the Divine. You are the light of your mama's heart and will be missed so deeply by so many. A little piece of you remains with her and them in the form of that awesome baby boy, so your light lives on in a very big and shiny way. Blessings to you as you fly on and to your family as they cope with your earthly absence. Tracy and Buster, I love you and blessing to Chelsi's family. Peace, Michelle

I always think of you as the picture that should be in the dictionary when you look up "creative". Sweet girl, you had so many talents and a mega watt smile that could light a room. Know you are loved by your whole family, and that you will always be missed. I know you always quoted lyrics..."In the Arma of the angels...may you find some comfort there." Live free and happy sweet soul.

Cousin Mark and family. I am sad I never got to know Chelsi. She sounded like a very free and fun loving spirit. She is in the loving arms of our Heavenly Father. Her pain is gone. She is truly free. Much love from your caring and heartbroken cousins in Ohio. ❤

There are no words that can be said, no light that can shine bright enough, no smell as sweet and wonderful as Chelsi. She will be remembered and cherished in a way no other can ever be.

June 7, 2016
I am eternally grateful to have had Chelsi as a friend. As much as I could go on about our special bond, the truth is that Chelsi could easily connect with anyone, whether through music, food, sports, or just her infectious smile. She made me believe in myself whenever I had doubts. She lifted my spirits whenever I saw her face. The moments we shared together laughing through life will never fade away. I yearn for the day that I get to see her again. Until then, thank you, my dear friend, for everything.

Love Always,

Tracy, love, light and Reiki energy to you and the whole family in this time of transition for Chelsi. I loved watching Chelsi move into deft handling of all of the behind the scenes action at the Reiki retreat last year. She added an immeasurable sense of lighthearted competence to her accidental role.
Much Love to you,

I never met you, Chelsi, yet I can imagine how beautiful a person you are because I know your mother. May you continue to flower and grow, like the beloved tree that you are.
God bless, Debra

Happy celestial birthday, my birthday buddy. As you know, Atlas is a delight and so very loved. Life gets more complex and fraught with violence and intolerance every day; hope you are at peace. Wishing we could all be. Your family, but especially your mom, seeks to honor your life and soul. You are still very much loved and still missed.

Random moment

June 4, 2019

Chelsi I was recently reminded of the time you traveled to NYC and stayed with me for a couple days.  My apartment at the time was in a building with a restaurant on the ground floor.  The kitchen in that restaurant had a small fire while you were staying with me and we were evacuated by the NYPD.  The fire turned out to be pretty harmless, but we ended up having such a good time catching up and hanging out in a cafe across the street while we watched all the fire trucks come and go.  I wish you hadn’t left us so soon so we could look forward to more of these moments together but I’m glad to have had the chance to share this particular one with you.

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/
