No matter where I may have been in my life - Sheila Weinberg always found a way to connect with me, to send me her love, and her best wishes. It amazed me each time I heard her voice when she called or when I received a little note from her in the mail. Thoughtful and kind, she kept me on her radar and in her heart. Thirty years have passed since our first meeting . . . but I remember it like yesterday. My hope is that her soul is reunited with her love Jack, as I believe they are might to be together forever and through eternity. To the family -- I send my condolences and hope that you find comfort in the memories and love that you shared with Sheila. B'shalom, Devorah

I was so saddened to hear that Sheila passed away. I called her in October to tell her I moved but she was unable to talk at that time.

Alan and I have wonderful memories of Jack and Sheila in our youngeryears attending celebrations for friends anniversaries and birthdays. As a realtor she sold our sons condo, our home in Orange, and helped us buy our condo in Stratford. We will always remember her as a loyal friend who always remembered sending cards for special occasions.

Our sincerest sympathy goes out to Debbie, Neil, and Howard on your loss.

Love, Joan and Alan Gelbert

I cannot believe that Sheila is gone. It seems like yesterday that we were celebrating her 80th birthday party. Sheila was a beautiful woman and a kind and loving person. She was a true daughter of Sylvia and Charlie....she always did the right and decent thing. She will be sorely misssed.
