    Thank You Woodshop KRC Family and KRLL
    Cheryl J - Logansgram says (06 Feb '13)

    Still reeling from the last couple of years. If it were not for my Kid Rock Woodshop family that support one another through thick and thin I'm not sure I would have made it over some of the bumps and bruises in my life. Of course hubby Mark aka Pimp Daddy and God is with me also.

    Thank you: RSMS, KRCVal(akaKRSVal), JustBecause, Mrs Cedars, Chop Shop, Margo, 420allday, and the many members of KRC and the Krll. As for the Woodshop Family we email, text or talk daily but I want everyone to know how special you all are. I feel that our common love of Kid Rock and Kracker brought us together but created a forever friendship that we cannot explain.

    As most of you know I had cancer surgery in Sept of 2011, lost my mother in law just before cruise in 2012, another surgery in August 2012, lost job at BPShops after 7 years in Sept, lost my mother Jan 2013 and have attended four other visitations, memorials or funerals in the last two weeks. I now can reflect on my own loss and ponder on my next journey wherever that may lead me.

    Your support and love have gone a long way. Cannot wait to hit the boat ( paid for before I lost my job ) might as well go. The Saginaw Tour Sat the 6th - that was a whim shouldn't have bought tickets but oh well what can I say. Also a special Thanks to Audrey for being so kind. Sorry to ramble but I wanted everyone to know how special you are to me. :)

Dearest Cheryl, thank you for sharing your journey. As I read your words, I viscerally feel the pummeling and reeling asked of your soul to experience...my heart bleeds for you. But I also feel your strength and beautiful heart. I am grateful you have so much love surrounding and supporting you. How kind of you to reach out in the midst of your struggles to thank those who help fill you up when it feels like all is gone. Bless each of their hearts, too, for being there for you in trials and tribulations. I also have been pummeled and have reeled from my own life's experiences and so it is with this heart I encourage you, for I, too, couldn't live this wonderful journey without my faith, my friends, and my family. Asked what seems like too many times to sing this song of healing in the midst of great pain and loss, I humbly offer it to you (www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eaK9z3PuMA) so you may continue to know God is with you always...every step of the way in this earthly paradise. And what would life be without the joyful dancing and rejoicing of three of my all time favorite songs which lift me up from despair to reassure me of life's blessings, for all we have known, experienced, and loved live on in us and the circle remains unbroken (www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e0EHs4zFNI). May you continue to walk, dance, laugh, and smile...and to know you are precious in the eyes of many...and most certainly in the twinkle of His. God Bless You!!!

Thank you, We played her favorite Alan Jackson Precious Memories album with a few others by Amy Grant, Vince Gill and Avalon during the hour before her service. Enjoyed this. Thank you and God Bless

I love that CD and my sister and I played it a lot when we were together, driving around on those endless days doing what had to be done to prepare for my mother's funeral. His music helped soothe such a huge gaping wound, like nothing ever felt before. I'm happy to hear you like Mr. Jackson's music...he is an amazing artist and I love his voice. I hadn't wanted to inundate you, but music is so healing...so in searching for songs for you this morning, I also found these that I wanted to share (www.youtube.com/watch?v=p74pB-WhsWE and www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9XZ_HSquUQ). We sang Blessed Assurance at my mother's service. I remember family from long ago Thanksgivings saying to me that day they remembered my voice from all those family talent shows, for as I sang from the front pew of the large church they could hear me above all others as they sat in the back. It gives me hope and solace to think then that my mother heard it, too, and her heart was happy being home and knowing her baby girl, with her faith, would be ok. He knows what He gives you each day is what you can handle with His grace, love, and protection...so you go, girl...you can do it!!!

It's an honor to be part of this dysfunctional family of friends and fans. Although I don't get to my emails or on this site as much as I would like too, I do want you to know that I care about you all and enjoy the times the crew can get together.
Cheryl, You are a strong person and life has thrown a lot your way. Things will only get better with time.
See you on the boat mofo's

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need....That would be you my friends.

Amen Val

After reading Val's comment below, perhaps I was wrong as to the suspect. Hmmmm, gotta give you a new nickname Val.

Diana-I can't wait to meet ya at Toledo
As for the texting last night, I couldn't figure out whose message went with whom. My phone actually froze up it couldn't keep up. It wouldn't let me reply. I kept trying to reset it but you guys were texting so fast it couldn't reset. How do I put this? There was something totally hilarious written and I think I know who the suspect is (inside joke-LOL). I ended up deleting like 90 of them just so I could use my phone this morning.

Never met any of you, but the stories that you share on here are what Kid Rock fans are all about. The respect, support, and friendship are wonderful. You all supported me during my cancer treatment/surgery (surgery was 3 days after Comerica 2011). It brightened my day to see those messages when I would log into the KRC, especially if I was having a bad day. And you don't even know me. Blessings to you and your family Cheryl. And, when you all get together on the boat, please post me a video on YouTube of the Q & A sessions. Love those :) I am patiently waiting (OK, that is a lie, I am not patient - LOL) for Toledo, OH!

I will try Diana but don't know if I am using the camera so much this year. I need to cut loose a bit but then again I can't seem to let any of the action slip by. Hope all is well with you. Cancer sucks it took my mom. Thank God we made it through what struck us in 2011. Only God knows why he spared us. Not to mention that is my favorite Kid Song always has been.

Hope to meet up with you somewhere down the line, Diana! You'll be seeing some of us in Toledo...I'm doing the 2 Saginaw shows and the GR show-- and hopefully Detroit in the summer :)

My phone was blowing up last night too! Don't know what it is after 8 or 9pm Cedars and Just Because come alive. You gals were craking me up. But was doing homework with the grandbaby. Pimp daddy was going to use my phone but I was afraid of what he would say and besides that conversation should not have been seen by a prankster. Lord only knows what he would have said. LOL

KRSVal's picture

I don't know what got into us last night, but I think I even managed to shock Cedars--which is hard to do--lol!!!!

Hey you wonderful people are making me cry. But I got to let it out so that is a good thing. Yes we kidnapped you RSMS. Kidnapped you as a friend for life. After we meet up for that brief moment before the Comerica Concert in 2011 the wheels were in motion. NO STOPPING US NOW! Thanks everyone I have been missing in action for the last 6 months or so but I am back and glad to be here.

Do you all remember my girlfriend texting me from Raleigh, NC while we were at that first Woodshop meeting. She was so worried I was meeting people from the internet and wanted to make sure I wasn't being kidnapped and locked up in someone's trunk of their car...lol

rocksavedmysoul's picture

Luv ya Cheryl. You got me crying again. I feel the same way. You all pick me up when I'm down. You all know how glad I was to see 2012 end and for the multitude of reasons. Yesterday, I posted on fb that I was having a crappy day and within minutes I had responses and phone calls from you all. In fact, last night I came home to 70 text messages from you guys and I think it blew up the oh so crappy SAMSUNG phone I have (piece of sh*t). I love my KR group and all the people I have met along the way who share our love for Kid's music. This group started because I wanted to find people who felt like I did. Well, I found them and am so thankful the Lord provided them to me.

Didn't mean to make you cry love you.

I still remember that first day we all met up at the Woodshop...I walked in (alone), trying to find ppl I had never met before.. and there is a smiling girl at the table that could only be Logansgram (Cheryl) with Pimp Daddy..and Sonya (Cedars) and hubby...Then more and more of us walked in, all with the deer in the headlights look.."I'm so and so"....it was so fun!! But would never had happened if we all didn't take that first leap of faith, shared by a love of The Man and His Music.
I never told you guys this, but at our 2nd meeting, I'm pretty sure I ran into Shakes and Carol. I was going to take a picture of this Kid Rock item on the wall (it was the 'Brad Pitt' one), and I asked this guy eating at the bar if I could sneak in and take a quick pic..then I was joking hey, you wanna be in the pic? I'll post it on the website..he was with this taller blonde lady...we started talking and just the way she was talking to me...what do you think of the place? Have you ever been here when Kid Rock was here? I was telling her how we were from the fanclub and had come from all over Michigan to meet at the Woodshop. And she just sounded so ambassador-like-lol...I was half buzzed at that point and she was talking so fast...anyway, if it was Carol and Shakes--I'll buy you a round next time!!!
And I'm thinking Audrey could join our group any old time she wants :)
Love you, Cheryl :))

Man, I love this stuff!

You gave me chills! I don't understand why life often hits so hard, all at once, with out mercy. Your courage over the last years has been immeasurable. We all look up to and admire you. I think this journey will develop in a manner you, or we, never expected. Your positive perspective will do ALL things for you. That alone, makes you amazing. I have such LOVE CARE & RESPECT for my KRF and you are the E. Pit. O. ME (epitome) of what we all stand for. In all of your suffering and struggling you have given us so much. Keep on keepin on, and know we are here for you and all those who need.

Best of All Things, kc

Thank you Katie can't wait to see you next month. God Bless

I will thank you

Hey Cheryl, I'm really sorry to hear about everything you've been going through. Glad to hear you're going on the cruise and stuff, as it will be a great time, and good for you. I'm posting this song link for you, as I think it might help you to remember that he is always there to carry you, and hold you in your times of need (much like the footprints in the sand poem), and that the loved ones you've lost are ok too. Anyway, I just thought you might like it. Though my heart still breaks for my own personal reasons when I see it, it still helps. Take care.
