I will fondly remember our lunch time walks and talks. Cher was a great lady who will be missed. Comfort in knowing that her and Ronnie are together again having fun.

I met Cher while she was with Dude one August day while visiting the Woodstock Museum in Bethel NY in 2015. Cher (and Dude) were the friendliest couple just loving life. They came up to us and started sharing their stories on travel, daughters, band, and how excited they were to be at Woodstock. We then took each others pictures and Dude even played “landslide” with his guitar for us all. Cher was all smiles and could tell she was an amazing woman that was truly loved by Dude. I never got another chance to physically meet up with her but I wanted to share this story as it was a truly magical day with her. She was such a kind and welcoming person to perfect strangers. Wishing she rest in peace now with Dude <3

Cher was a one of a kind special lady. She could light up a room with her beautiful smile. Even though we didn't see each other often, we would always pick back up right where we left off. I remember when she worked at Tape World I would spend extra time working in the planters near her store front just so we could chit chat. She loved her girls, music, and life. Rest in peace, my friend. Love ya, Barb

In a place full of light and full of grace. May it bring you some peace to know that one you Love only knows peace now. I'm sure Cher and Ronnie are each others arms dancing on the clouds. Thinking of you with deepest sympathy Connie and Richie

Cher and I, both worked at Apple Blossom Mall, at the same time (I worked at The Dream Machine). We became good friends while working there and had many wonderful times and memories. She was a very funny, loving and caring friend. She loved Ronnie dearly and all her children and family. Such a beautiful soul. My sympathy, love and prayers to her family.

I remember you dancing in the Follies with your girls ... great memories

So very sorry for your loss.Wishing you comfort in your memories.

Kristy & Angie, I am sorry you lost your mom way too soon. However, I know she is right where she wants to be, beside Ronnie. You both have so many wonderful memories of her and all the things you did together as a family. Those memories will carry you through until you see her again. She was definitely one of a kind and I will never forget her being my first boss and the lessons I learned from her! Wishing you comfort in the days and months ahead. Love you both!! 😘😘

So sorry to hear of Cheryl’s passing. “Little Jimmy” and I both send our deepest condolences. She is finally resting peacefully with Ronnie once again.

Such a gentle beautiful and caring person. Rest in Peace.

I am praying for you all ❤️

Mom, you’ve had a long hard road over the past few years. We know you’re no longer suffering, you are with Dude, and happy once again. For that reason alone, we are at peace with your passing. This goodbye is temporary. One day it’ll be the 6 of us again. Until then…we love you.

Love and miss you momma, mum, mom.

Momma you were by far the best mother us girls could have. You were best friend, my hero, the person I always looked up to. You taught us so much. I’m at peace knowing you’re no longer fighting nor suffering. You’re now with Dude and you both can watch over us kids. My heart may be shattered but I have the memories that will make me smile. We got it from here. Love and miss you so very much. ❤️😭. It’s not good bye, it’s see you later.😘

We sure did tear up a stage or two in our time. Thank you for all the memories, love and support thru the years. Now you are free from pain and have joined Ronnie forever. Love and miss you, now the 2 of you go make some noise in heaven ❤️

I will miss Cher a lot even though we didn’t see each other much she was one of the best friends I ever had . We could always pick up where we left off like it was yesterday we just saw each other . I watched her daughters grow into wonderful women who I know she was proud of . Kristy always kept me informed and I was so thankful I got to speak to her one last time .i know she is with Ronnie again and probably will have a band going for God to listen to . God bless her and her family .

May you rest in peace Cher.

Kristy & Angie, I am so very sorry for your loss. Cher will truly be missed, I have such great memories of our time together at Tape World. I pray you have comfort in knowing she is now at peace, No more suffering.

Mom, it’s been a long, hard road these past few years. You’re no longer suffering and you’re with Dude so you’re happy. For that reason alone, we’re at peace. We love and already miss you so much.

My heart is broken but also full of joy that you are no longer fighting that nasty disease and that you and your man (RonJon) are together once again.

Love you and see you on the other side Cherbear ❤️
