I can't believe dear Cherie has been gone from this earth for a year. I often pass the Villages, and think of her fondly each time. I was one of her aides, and the time with her was always full of laughter and generosity of spirit. Her stories were fascinating, too. Her memory was remarkable. What an indomitable woman she was. It didn't matter how Cherie was feeling, she always put others first, no matter who, no matter what. My family misses her emails, as well. So many jokes we've shared over and over. My continued love to the family. She will be forever missed.

It is difficult to believe that almost a year has passed since our dear Aunt Cherie passed away. She was such a strong presence in our lives and and such a persistent source of joy to all of us who knew her. So much of moment has happened in the past year for our family, most of it happy and uplifting as Aunt Cherie would have wanted it to be. She rarely dwelt on her own difficulties and infirmities and pain as severe as they were, particularly towards the end but was instead always focused on the needs and happiness of others. So often in this year we have wanted to share with her the latest family news, knowing how interested and involved she was in all of our lives. She spoke kindly of most everyone with whom she came into contact. We shall miss her always but are comforted by the love we shared, the memories of the many times we spent together, the laughter we enjoyed and the occasional tears we shed. Rest in peace beloved Auntie, rest in peace.

To my dear Auntie Cherie What a remarkable lady you were, one of the best, so selfless and so concerned with others happiness despite how ill and in pain you were. You never ceased to amaze me with your glass half full attitude. We spoke regularly on the phone I hadn't seen you in many years. You told me so many interesting stories of your younger days with your family including the outings you had. I especially remember you saying how you loved your Mum and Dad taking you to Buckingham Palace to see the royal family whenever they came out onto the balcony for a special occasion. Family was so important to you and I always remember my Mum and Dad Bernard and Joan Goss saying it was you that brought them and their family back together all those years ago when marrying out of religion was frowned upon. The world will miss you so much, I will miss you so much Auntie Cherie, you certainly were one of a kind. Until we meet again Love your Niece Alison

Aunt Cherie was my aunt by marriage. Stuart and I are first cousins on his Mom's side, but it didn't really matter. When I was a child growing up in London,I knew I had an Aunt Cherie and Uncle Bob that lived in that magical place called America. They would send me books, and once a wonderful bright pink pleated skirt, the likes of which I had never seen! I think I only met them once or twice then. My husband, Paul, and I settled in Northern New Jersey in 1978, followed soon after by Stuart and Paula. We used to see Cherie once in a while, and our daughter, who now has children of her own, still has the Alice in Wonderland mug that Cherie gave her. As Cherie's back problems got worse, we didn't see her as much, but when we did she was always ready with a slightly off- color joke and a story. She was such fun to be with! The two things I still chuckle about; the constant supply of bulk food Cherie would give to Paula, and the emails. Political, risque, or just jokes you'd heard a million times before - those emails just kept on coming! I understood how Cherie took to emails because my late father discovered the internet in his late 80's, and in many ways they were very much alike inquisitive and willing to learn new things even at heir age. People of their generation and their spirit are hard to find these days - always willing to lend a hand - a bit of that old British wartime spirit - one of a kind. Cherie was certainly that. Rest in peace Cherie. You deserve it! and I will always think of you with a smile.

My Aunt Cherie, in spite of the tragic loss of her beloved husband Bob, and of her terrible physical pain and disabilities, was always upbeat and a pleasure to talk to and be with. She had an extraordinary memory, and told fascinating stories about the family, and remembered cousins I didn't even know I had. I spoke with her almost every day and can't remember a day when she wasn't upbeat and cheerful. She always had a joke to share and never complained. Even though she was housebound, she kept up with family and friends all over the world with her computer and Skype. She will be missed by all of us who were lucky enough to know her.

I have been speaking to "Miss. Cherie" since i was 14. She was the first customer I screwed up and she let me know it!! She told me how regular she uses us for rides and I should get to know her name... Boy did I. A voice on the phone i would speak to over the next 17 years. She would just call randomly to tell me a joke. She sent a card every Christmas and a card when my grandmother passed away. When she heard I was going thru my divorce she would constantly send me emails making sure I was ok. A lady that was filled with pain throughout her body yet still wanted to make sure everyone around her was Ok and had a smile on their face. She will be missed by a lot of people, as I am sure she has come in contact with so many. Her nephew that was the computer wiz... to her travels during world war 2... such and awesome lady that I am grateful to have met in my lifetime. May she forever rest in peace. Goodbye Miss Cherie at 47 b Bobby jr

Shalom Stuart and all the other members of your family, We are sad to hear that Cherie has passed away, but glad that she will no longer suffer. We send are best wishes to you all and especially to you Stuart who was always so devoted to her. Who are we? We are members of a kibbutz in Northern Israel, formerly of NY, with a son who lives in NJ. Years ago one of the jokes that Cherie sent appeared on our kibbutz bulletin board. I wrote to Cherie and asked if we could exchange jokes - this is not long after I bought my first computer. Since then for years we did just that, along with an occasional e-mail telling each other what was happening in our lives and also something of our personal history. Once, when visiting our son, we even went to visit her. We were amazed at her courage and resilience in the face of her terrible physical problems. We became close over the vast distance and lack of a prior relationship. No one has ever sent jokes, art or anything else that comes close to level of what she sent. The 15 or so people to whom I forwarded what she sent also thought so (though I deleted her address, etc.) So we wish you all the best and Cherie peace at last. Orit and Ze'ev Shorshi

Saddened to hear of Cherie's passing. What a positive spirit she was in spite of her pain. The Internet helped her escape it all and I so enjoyed her stories and jokes. We should all be blessed with her wit and appreciation for life.

I met Cheri at the pool in the Villages and she won me over as friend and mentor immediately. Her warm personality and her genuine interest in people was so natural. But the jokes! I think the only way she got through life after the loss of Bob, was with humor. Anyone who knew her, knows what a loss this is. Like so many others who were drawn to her, I am grieved by her loss. My thoughts and prayers go to her family.

Despite my last face to face visit with Auntie Cherie being over 7 years ago I have seen and spoken with her via Skype about once a week since. I will miss her so much. She really was the Matriarch of the family but now I guess it is down to us! Auntie had a way of helping me through a few dark times in much the same way as a parent helps there young child. Her personal situation due to her health has been very poor for many years and yet her focus was always on what joy she could bring to others whilst utterly ignoring her own suffering. I wish I could be more like that. When there was little to talk about an email would appear from her. Sometimes a beautiful anecdote with lovely pictures and great words of wisdom. Mostly about the joys (NOT) of getting old! But always with Love. Sometimes the emails were full of jokes from the sort you could say in Church to videos that I think the internet providers would normally censor! There was no limit to her open mind even at the grand old age of 95. I got on very well with Uncle Bob who left Auntie Cherie so long ago under dreadful circumstances and yet Auntie, as hurt and presumably damaged from such a blow, never became bitter about the situation. How many people on this planet could overcome that and still keep looking positively forward? Auntie's generosity was incredible, in so many ways. I could sit here and tell stories about so many things where Auntie is concerned, but for me to conclude please allow me to indulge my more selfish side and say this! I am so going to miss my regular 15 minutes contact each week. A chapter in my life has closed and I am sad. I do however know that I have to now start another productive chapter. Auntie would expect no less. Angels enjoy, there's a new and fiesty one in town. Love Nephew Michael PS I will shortly put up a couple of photos from my time with Auntie Cherie in 2008 along with Susan and Brian. I will also post a picture of Cherie with Bob from many years ago. Please have a look.
