For many years Cheryl was a cheerful addition to the High Holiday services at the congregation that belonged to as a young adult. She was also a dear friend and great company at the science fiction conventions that we attended. She will be sorely missed.

I am so so sorry to hear of your loss. When I first starting going to conventions, Cheryl was one of the first people to welcome me. I loved hearing her Beatle stories. She will be much missed on the con scene here in Chicago.

Cher and I went to Mather together and she was a character. Last time she called she told me she was calling to say goodbye. RIP Cher.

Our dearest Cheryl will always live on in my heart whenever I hear a fave Beatles song. Yes, we shared a love of music, the beatles and her wonderful
partner Marty whom i was honored to work side by side at Riveredge Hospital. He was a legend. Jewish Santa singing Xmas carols around the hospital to all units, young and old and the teen aged girls for an hour or two believed in the magic of a real Santa, their nurse MartyB. what a life Cheryl had and please do remember the cats, the music and her love for life with her lifelong partner. She was a dear, dear friend to me and all she met.

Cheryl was my friend at Beatle Fest. She always came to the Art Room where I was working and chatted for hours about the Beatles. She contributed to the art shows- her last entries were handbags decoupaged with images of the Beatles. For the Beatles Poetry Jam, she created verses on the spot. She was such a lively and warm being - she radiated love.

I will never forget how wonderful Cheryl and Marty were to me when I was confined to a nursing home, going far out of their way to take me to the Du Page parties so I could be with people who I felt at home with. I just found out a few days ago how close the end was, so I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. but I will miss her a great deal.
I am glad she is no longer in pain, but selfish enough to wish she'd had more time here.

Cheryl's exuberant personality touched so many of us in her "Beatles Family." I'll miss our long conversations about life in Pepperland and what it was really like back in '64! She was a Beatles encyclopedia, a fan of the absurd and a true believer in Peace and Love. I have comfort in believing her soul is free of constraints and she's enjoying the ultimate concert!
