Is there anywhere she hasn't been and would like to go, with health being a factor but not a deterrent?

[@michelle-tg5di]

Beautiful documentary, how did you choose which moments to capture?

@@millerbeer01 Not that I can recall! Also, she did end up going to the fancy restaurant Ritz-Carlton and had the pleasure to eat lots of expensive potatoes. ;-)

Marie-Lise's disposition is contagious; she answers courage to so much fear out here. She profoundly and selflessly leads the way. For many of us, she embodies and provides unparalleled comfort.

Cherry has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. Cherry, keep smiling wherever you are. 😍

She has the most beautiful eyes and brightest spirit! This was such a moving portrait. The exhange with her hairdresser was tender and full of love. Thank you for making this film.

What a beautiful person! Thank you for making this film about her. Was that her singing on the song 'being together'? I noticed that she wrote it. It's lovely.

[@laurencegagne-fregeau6077]

It was her singing indeed. 🙂
