My deepest condolences to your family. I met Cheryl while attending Camp Alert during the early seventies. Cheryl was always there for us during our stay at the camp. Such a beautiful and caring person. God Bless.

Our first memory of Cherryl was a "quick chat" in the middle of the night (she forgot the 5 hour time difference) which went on for 2 hours (she also didnn't realise the cost of long distance). We will always be grateful to her for the way she welcomed Philip into her family. She was generous, warm hearted and welcoming to us all. Her finest gift to us was Jessie, the best daughter-in-law we could have wished for. We will always remember her strength and dignity in suffering. God Bless. Roy, Kate, Leah and Bill xxxxx

You will continue to feel her presence in many ways...she will not ever miss a step, she will make you strong with everything she taught you and gave you in life and will guide you on those days of uncertainty. Just listen closely,trust and believe. Much love to you XX-OO

Oh Merryl.... You were one of the strongest women I ever had the pleasure of knowing. You opened your arms and your heart to me, and constantly encouraged me. My failures as a daughter-in-law were never held against me... you simply told me you loved me, and would always be there when I was ready. Thank you for being the wonderful woman you were....for loving me completely when I didn't always deserve it...for loving your grand daughters with the amazing giving spirit that everyone will remember you for.
I will cherish the funny memories I have, and share them with Amy and Tori, to keep you alive in their hearts. I love you, and I know you are smiling down on all of us... and bending God's ear with your stories. You will be forever missed.

If this was my sis writing a memory or a thought it would already be at least five hundred words long..... Cherryl was very special. She reminds me of our mom always willing to take in the stray (be it a person or a pet) and give them a place to stay to get themselves together. She would listen to your problems, give advise, feed you and always send you on your way with a doggie bag. I will miss her dearly and I will keep her in my thoughts and heart every day. She made the world a better place for those who were fortunate enough to have known her.
Love your brother,
Ken

I met Jessica when we were just nine years old and I would go to her house everyday after school. Cherryl took me in and treated me like a daughter. She was generous, kind and free-spirited. She became my 2nd mom and her home became my 2nd home, even where I ate dinner most nights. She was always so easy to talk to that she was the one I went to for most coming of age issues. I never met anyone like her before or since. She is truly one-of-a kind, a beautiful soul that will truly be missed.
Love,
Helen Cocozello & Family

First met Cherryl a long time ago in the Bluejackets and the friendship carried over for years. We lost touch for awhile, but reconnected on Facebook. Thanks to Jessie for that.

To my baby sister Cherryl:
Dear Cherryl, You can now rest in the arms of GOD. Know that you are always in our hearts and daily prayers.
We will miss you, especially our "very long" telephone conversations. I am sure that you are bringing Mom, Dad, Claire, Bobby, Neil up to date on the latest family news.
We love you, Frank and Georgette....

No words can express how sad I feel about losing you Mom. You were my world - my rock - my constant. You were my best friend; the one I called every time I needed to vent or cry - a shoulder to lean on. My life will be forever changed and my heart will never be as complete as it was before.
Watching you these last few years, battling cancer with all your strength and heart has been remarkable. I never knew anyone could be that strong, and I truly mean that. You never once complained and in five years I only saw you get upset one time.
Last Mother's Day I told you that over the years many teachers/people would ask me 'who is your hero, who do you look up to?' and I never had an answer. No celebrities, no great inventors or politicians impressed me enough to say 'I can look up to that person'. I told you that it took me 36 years to find my role model, my hero - and it was you.
I was so sad and sorry that I wasn't there to hold your hand when you passed. It will be my biggest regret. You saw me take my first breath, and I had hoped I would be there to love you and comfort you when you took your last. Please know I love you very, very much and I would have held your hand every minute if I could have.
I've been looking at older pictures of us together and it really shook me to see how much cancer had taken from you. But it never, ever took your spirit. You were laughing in all the pictures and you looked beautiful, whether you were bald or recovering. Your spirit just shined through.
I will hold every memory of you dear to my heart. I will keep you always and when I need to remember where you are I will look in the mirror and see you just as I see Daddy.
My heart will break when I have this new baby and you're not there to hold her/him. But something tells me a piece of you is already part of her/him.
I will forever miss you mom. I will forever love you. You will always be my Merryl. xoxo

Cherryl left a "special memory" with everyone she came in contact with. She may have left Brooklyn but that only made our friendship stronger. We spent everyday together as young mothers. We recently had the chance to talk about our first Ragamuffin Parade with Anthony and Patty as babies (Pebbles and BamBam.) I can still hear her laugh as we talked about the very eventful day. I have many great memories of Cherryl and she will always be in my heart. She lived for her children and grandchildren and she may be gone but her memories will last a lifetime. To Jessica, Anthony and Josh and the rest of the family I am so sorry for your loss.

My sympathy goes out to Jessica and everyone who was close to Cherryl. She was a remarkable woman -- one with a strength and openness that was uniqure and admirable. While I'm sad that she is no longer with us, I feel a sense of peace for her... and that she is out there watching out for us - passing her strength along. May light and love be with her.
