Cherese Mari Laulhere is beloved by many. She was born on September 17, 1974 in Long Beach, California and at the age of 21 her life was tragically and unexpectedly taken on March 27, 1996 in Agra, India.

Throughout her life, Cherese always said, "I want to make a difference in this world." She did, by touching many lives so profoundly. Cherese gave all her heart and soul with compassion, sincerity and love. The beauty upon her smiling face was a reflection of all things beautiful within her. We all miss her so much.

A foundation in her honor has been established. As Cherese's parents, brother and close friends, we are committed to keeping Cherese's memory alive.
