"Dear Cherry,
Today, as I was clearing out boxes, I came across Sophie's Log and thoughts turned to you. You may recall, around 6 years ago, I made contact with you after reading Sophie's Log. This was at a very low point in my life and reading the log brought me an inner peace that I so desperately needed.
Life has moved on and I am now remarried and have a much happier life.
As soon as I found Sophie's Log, I eagerly opened it and read it once again and, as with the first time when I read the log, my heart felt up lifted and a smile came upon my face.
I thought I would email you and let you know that I have not forgotten about you or Sophie.
I may not have been in contact over these past years but you have been in my thoughts on many occasions.
I hope this finds you well and I trust you will remember me."

"I was overwhelmed with the joy and wonder and love of life coursing through Sophie's book. It could be a great source of inspiration to bereaved families."

"Our daughter has found great comfort in reading Sophie's wonderful poems and writings. She has touched the essence of those difficult teenage years and helped us all to express our thoughts."

"Untimely death is particularly hard to bear (I too lost a 20 year old son many years ago) but ....it seems to me you are inspiring others to 'live for her' ,to do some of the things she would have done."

"I really thought it was quite amazing in its maturity and insight... the depth of her understanding expressed in 'Accepting Death' is quite phenomenal."

"I am sure that each person who reads this book...will notice a subtle difference in their lives thereafter."

"I was very moved by her extraordinary gift with words. What a lovely idea to make a book so that others can enjoy the richness of what she gave to the world in her short life."

"Thank you, never has a 'book' touched and enlightened me so. "My friend died in a crash 3 years ago. I miss him terribly. But I have the opportunity to live and Sophie showed me hope."

"As a former headteacher I was fascinated to find at least one young person who could express herself so fluently and was prepared to think about the world in a serious way."

"The mind of Sophie and her views give us all such hope for the future."

"She (Sophie) is the friend I have been looking for all my life... I so wish I had known her."

"I just feel blessed after reading some of it."

"In some ways one can't help wondering if there was some presage of her own death so young, though that would have been subconscious of course."

"I have a friend who lost a daughter at 13.....When the time is right I will show her Sophie's Log and maybe she will find that this might be the way forward for her."
