Taffy, you are and always be truly missed!!

Your fiery personality, your endless source of energy and your compassion to help those less fortunate and in need will be something I will never forget and forever thank you for!!

Even though we didn't agree on every topic we discussed, the one common ground we shared was the strong passion to help others whenever the need arose!

Rest in peace my dear friend and know that you don't ever have to stress or worry about renewing your driver's license again to maintain your independence because you are now permanently blessed and free to navigate your new life without any restrictions!!

Love and eternal peace,
Dan Wilkins

I will miss seeing Taffy walking every day, with Zumba and Magic . I will miss our conversations. Her telling me something, me wanting to fix it, her wanting to correct me. Caring and knowing she was wonderful. I miss her voice in temple and seeing her face. For the past 14 years I saw her face, heard her voice, and I miss it . G-d bless you Taffy. I love you
