I met Cheryl when we were both 14, and had long telephone conversations with her, off and on for about 5 years. I was 8 months younger than she was, but we had something special going on during those years. I lived in Santa Monica and she in Sherman Oaks. While I never dated her, we talked about dating issues many times, when we were about 16. She was waiting for her prince to come along, and it was clear that she was not going to be dating a younger poor boy like me. But I was a good sounding board for her, and she was so nice and kind to me.
Many years later, my mom met Cheryl at the hospital when my mom was a nurse on duty for her husband, Lance, who had stacked up his race car. Cheryl and my Mom had a discussion about those long conversations from our teenage years, and according to my Mom, Cheryl had fond memories of those days. (me too!)
I was living in Aspen at the time, and my Mom told me that Cheryl had a home there as well and I should look her up. I never did. I moved back to California, where I own an accommodations business, here in the tiny ski town of Bear Valley. So long Cheryl, I will always cherish the fond memory of your smile, your friendship and your kindness.

A bit of my childhood died with Cheryl’s passing.

I knew Cheryl slightly for many years. She always seemed to me to be a bubble of sunshine, talented, good humored and fun. In spite of the pressures of a career in show business that brought her the ups and downs of fame, and her prominent marriages, to me Cheryl always appeared grounded and unaffected, a person you’d really like to have as your next-door-neighbor, always ready with a hug and a smile.
Sail on, Golden Girl, sail on by…and God speed.

I lived around the corner from Cheryl in Santa Monica. I passed by her condo yesterday. It looked so sad and deserted. There is still a Mickey Mouse Club logo in one of the windows.

We will always remember Cheryl Holdridge, long after later Mouseketeers like Britney Spears have gone. The only resemblance between them is that they were both blondes, Cheryl was a lovely lady, full of goodness. Condolences to all the other Mouseketeers who will be missing her. It goes to show just how temporary life is-live while you have it. This news has hit me between the eyes, so unexpected!
