Sally Jaffe Obituary

Dick,



My heart felt sympathy goes out to you and your family. On the few occasions I shared with you and Sally will always be treasured. You and her both made my day better when you were there.



God Bless

Dearest Richard,

The fondness and love that we all felt for Sally is expressed in the laughter and stories we shared. Sally had a unique sense of joy in the little things and even the BIG things she did with her extended family.



I am sorry I wasn't in town and could not be with you and your family during this overwhelming time. Do your best to take care of you.

Sally was a wonderful lady, I knew for a short time but everytime I saw her she was always happy and energetic. It was always a joy to be around her. I am sorry that I was not able to spend more time with her in the last few months. My deepest sympathy goes to the whole family.

Richard, Bonnie and Paula,

It is difficult to express in words the sorrow felt for the loss of your loving wife and wonderful mother. As her son-in-law of twenty-three years, I am saddened by her passing. For not only have my daughters lost a grandmother, we have all lost a friend! Throughout the many years of vacation visits, holiday get togethers, and weddings, I could always count on and looked forward to, her enthusiasm, boundless energy, pride in her family and interest in the latest happenings with all our lives. Sally, I will miss those conversations that we always had, when you would ask, "so, tell me about the job", "how are the girls doing", or "what are the plans for today".



My thoughts and best wishes are with you all!



Love,

Mike, Brooke, Rachel and Sara

Dick, Barb, Bonnie and Family-

Our condolences to you and your family. May you find comfort in your fond memories of Sally. Mother Mimi Mills is grateful that she was able to visit recently with Sally one last time. Mimi talks often of how much she adored Sally and cherished their friendship. Again, our thoughts and prayers.

Gary and Karen Kipnis

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Richard and the entire family. Sally and I were teenagers together, she was the first to do things and Thelma and I followed her. I save poetry that I feel is comforting to me, I want to share it with you and hope that it will bring you comfort.



Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush,

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there, I did not die.

~LIFE'S VICTOR~

Let none of you weep for me,

Especially you with whom I've smiled.

Nor bow down your head in utter grief.

Put on no mourning, as if the pail induces

forgetfulness and conceal

All we've done together,

We have lived: Remember!

Say not that I have died,

just that this is death. Say that I lived,

enjoying each mortal breath.

We have learned and labored and wrought.

What our hands found to do we sought

In quest to raise to nobler height.

My life was blessed in the living,

My death hallowed because of giving.

Life to me was challenge,

I was happy so to live .

By Rabbi Julian B. Feibelman ~





May Memories Comfort You

The tide recedes but leaves behind

bright seashells on the sand,

The sun goes down, but gentle warmth

still lingers on the land,

The music stops, and yet it echoes on

in sweet refrains

For every joy that passes

something beautiful remains.









When I come to the end of the road

and the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom filled memory

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long

and not with your head bowed low

remember all that we once shared.

For this is the journey that we all

must take and each must go alone

it's all a part of God's plan

A step on the road to home.

So when you are alone and sick of heart

go to the friends who are true

and bury your sorrows in doing

good deeds. Miss me a little

but life must go on.









Weep not for me though

I am gone into that gentle night

Grieve if you will, but not for long

upon my soul's sweet flight.

I am at peace, my soul's at rest

There is no need for tears.

For with your love I was so blessed

for all those many years.

There is no pain, I suffer not,

the fear now all is gone.

Put now these things out of your thoughts,

in your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath

remember not the strife

Please do not dwell upon my death,

but celebrate my life!

Elana and I wish the Jaffe/Wallis Family our condolences. You all are in our thoughts during these difficult times. G-d bless you all....Love Steve and Elana Riback

My heart is with your family. She was one in a million, I will remember her always. I am so sorry for your loss.
