My condolences to the Jaffe family. Sylvia was like a 2nd mom to me in my childhood, since I was best pals w/Phyllis from Kindergarten. She used to make me p & j sandwiches & cut the crusts off, because she knew I didn't like them. She was a wonderful mom & I have the fondest memories of her & the entire Jaffee family. Hoping your memories will stand by you in this very difficult time.
