Dear Diane, Suzanne and Family.
I can´t find the words to express how sorry I am for your loss.
I had the pleasure to work for Mrs. Jacobs for few years and enjoyed every minute of it.
Mrs. Jacobs legacy of kindness and love will continue to inspire us all and her memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew her.

I had the pleasure of working with Pat on the radio/tv show. Patricia truly was an inspirational matriarch and someone who always had a smile to share. For her 90th I remember her saying it was a time to try new and challenging endeavors. Knowing Pat continues to spur me on and make me smile. Condolences to the entire family from Harriet and Al Rosenberg

Dear Diane and Suzanne, Natalie and I offer our sincere condolences on your mother's recent passing. You may recall that I worked for your dad at JJO nearly 35 years but unfortunately had to retire early due to failed back surgery shortly after 9-11. FYI: I have several "Jewish Home Show" tapes in my personal files here at our home in Clifton, NJ. Do you have any yourself to share with family members including grandchildren? I myself (hard to believe!) just turned 85 a few months ago. I have warm memories of the time I worked for Joseph Jacobs and the many different ad accounts I brought to the Jewish target market including TWA, American Airlines, A&P and especially the dozen or so Holocaust era legal notices on which I worked--of which I was especially proud! May G-d give you and your families strength! Sincerely, BRUCE BAFF (973) 473-6096.
