Cherry x 
Ps She made me feel tall, so very tall  | |||
She was intelligent, interested in what was saying and was really interesting. She had a sincere wonderful smile that was so welcoming it made me feel right at ease sat next to her.
I remarked to Cherry afterwards about her bright warm smile and her sincerity and thought to myself I’d love to see her and chew the fat with her again. “I’m sure we’ll get the chance to chat again” I thought to myself, I never did though and I’m both angry and sad about it.
Posting on a forum thread feels like scant tribute to such a lovely person who seems to have brought a smile to everyone who she met and I wish I could do more.
Be kind each other people, you never know when you may not get a chance again.

"I was fortunate enough to while away a sunny Saturday afternoon in a London park with Cherry Lickety a load of other fabbers. After the park we all got to go to a bar to sit, talk and exchange stories. I sat next to Lickety whilst we ate food. She asked me all about my life, about meeting Cherry and promised (like so many have) to hunt me down if I did anything to upset her

"Some of the old timers on here will know Lickety through the forums, clubs and parties. Over the years, we became good friends, which I'm proud of. Sadly she passed away after a short illness yesterday. I'll be attending her funeral when it's organised. If anyone else was a friend and wants details, please drop me a private message. RIP Lickety. A unique and lovely person x" omg.... that's so very sad. Many a good giggle was had with lickerty over the years. Good Times at the STP... Truly sad to hear this | |||

I don't have anything to add to the beautiful words others have written because I didn't know Lickety personally but I remember her from Fab and she always came across as lovely person, a good soul and a beacon of common sense and sanity. | |||

"Rest in peace dear Lickety. She meant a lot. She was a lot but in the best of ways - passionate, caring, intense and always with wisdom and time for others. Made you feel like you mattered, were seen and heard. Friendships, work. Random thoughts or more serious matters. Lickety was truly brilliant and the world is a little less bright without her and her love. "The great ones always die too young.... she seems like one of those loveable people you just had to like. I hope she gets a good send off. For the next organised social, you should do something in memory of her! Play her favourite songs and tell your stories of what she meant to you. Xx | |||

"She touched so many people - maybe we should have a photo challenge in her memory x" That sounds lovely and maybe a social could be organised in her memory, play her favourite songs, what was her favourite colour, wear something that reflects her favourite colour, tell your stories of what you remember of her!! Or maybe, in your own time, set off a balloon for her. Xx | |||
| |||
 | |||
I met her many years ago when I did the London Moonwalk. A few of us from Fab met up for lunch the following day. She was a lovely, kind person and one of the Forumites I've been keeping an eye out for since returning. RIP Lickety. | |||

"I've not read the whole thread but we got together last Sunday to start planning the STP for Lickety.9 We also felt there was something we should say about her funeral. Fab is a strange place, and for a lot of us a 'secret life'. Though many of us loved her dearly, we believe that going to her funeral is a bad idea. That event is for her family, non-fab friends, work colleagues etc. People that do not need their memory of her potentially tainted should they find out about this life of hers. The STP for Lickety will allow for us to grieve, say some words if we wish and remember her fully as a fabulous fab lady "From the above poster, it very much sounds like the funeral has already gone ahead, and that they as a very close personal friend has already noted this. Nobody had offered any personal details regarding that? So, yep you didn't read the whole thread, but you could have noted the post above you? Lovely that you're holding your next function in her name though x | |||

I'll forever remember her at the Summer ones where she wore "The Cloud" and brightened up the days even more. I still can't believe she's gone. | |||

PHENOMENAL WOMAN
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I’m telling lies.
I say,
It’s in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can’t see.
I say,
It’s in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed.
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It’s in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
’Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Lickety was lovely, eccentric, funny, encouraging, kind to me and happy to meet socially for a drink when we were in town at the same time (in the days prior to the pandemic). I am sorry that she has gone | |||
