Thinking of you on your anniversary- as your former patient - I will always feel grateful for help and guidance- when there was no one there to be my friend. RIP!

Dear David in Spirit,
I saw this notification of your anniversary, and I immediately felt warm memories. And I wanted to say hello to you in Spirit.
If you can see my spirit, you’ll know now what we were talking about and why- and it continues to this day.
Thinking about you today, in fond memories.

David Jaffe lives on in my heart- seems like 10 years later, yet hes still remembered and lives on.

I was a patient of David for the past six years. He was an inspiration to me, and a wonderful role model. I had lost my wife of 50 years, and was rebuilding my life. Thanks to David and my new wife, that rebuilding has been a great success.

David and Sarai were good friends when friends were scarce. They made a deep difference when most needed.

To All of Davids Patients. I was a patient of David's for about 30 yrs or more. He was always there for me and saved my life, gave me inspiration and knew which way to guide me out of difficulties. The first time I came out of his office, some 30+ years ago, I was a changed person from the start. I believe he was one of the most brilliant therapist, humanitarians, and committed friend, (although he didn't want to admit it)...I have no words to describe my loss, except I owe my life to him.

Dear sue, I will always remember David's help and kindness when I was trying to leave my parents home. He helped me as a family member--------I was Grace's cousin. Thank you. I wish you as easy a time as you can have now. Grace Cohen
