My deepest condolences to the Jacobs family. My late Mother, Judy Brooks and Snoonie had been lifelong friends since meeting in Junior High School in the city. She was always so warm, gracious and kind with an easy manner. I will always remember she and Bernie with great love and she will be so missed.
