 It is with a heavy heart that friends and co-workers at the Town of Hempstead must  announce  news of the passing of Cherry Weinstein, Executive Assistant to Town of Hempstead Councilwoman Dorothy L. Goosby.  Ms. Weinstein served as the Councilwoman's Executive Assistant since 2000 and was instrumental in her election to the Town Board in 1999.  Cherry was a tireless worker for what she felt was just and right and fought each day for the constituents in Council District 1.  She was a devoted employee and best friend to Councilwoman Goosby.  Those who worked directly with her and all the employees at the Town of Hempstead mourn her loss.
