Fit Fare

I used to get emails every other week with beautiful photos and a simple request from a Fit Fare writer: Could you upload these for me? Normally, I would have insisted they learn to use the new and unfamiliar blogging interface that Well Fed had begun using. But this writer was different. She had a way of writing — whether it was blog posts or simple emails — that drew you in and made you want to help. So, I uploaded her photos for her.

The her was Sher Cermak, one of the original Fit Fare writers. She came to us from What Did You Eat? and wrote engaging, interesting posts that opened up her world for the rest of us. She shared how she and her husband ate, and conditions that posed challenges for them. (Read her Fit Fare archives here.)
After learning Monday afternoon that Sher had passed away after a sudden heart attack, I was shocked. Then, I was sad. The food blogging world has lost one of our own.
It wasn’t just me she touched.  If you take a spin through food blogs today, you can see just how many people she touched. From Kalyn’s post yesterday to Glenna’s touching tribute, to name a few.  Sher is a light that shone for all of us, and with her passing, is not dimmed, but rather shines brighter from above.

Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers.
