So sorry to learn of the passing of Mrs. Estrin.  She was my daughter's second grade teacher and touched both our lives.  She valued  every one of her students and my meetings with her were so positive to help me see the gifts and delight that she saw.  Many years later she wrote a touching letter and gave her a necklace.  A light has gone out but because of her it will continue to shine in all  she touched

Just wanted to share this because this is what Sheila was. A lady at my job heard of Sheila's passing.  When she heard the name she came to me to tell me that Sheila was her daughter's 1st grade teacher. She told me that she had met Sheila about a year ago and mentioned to Sheila about her daughter. Shelia not only remember her daughter's name but proceeded to tell the mom how special her daughter was and told her some of things that her daughter would do. Sheila was this child's teacher over 40 years ago. This is the Sheila I will always remember. She made each one of her students feel special. Sheila I will miss you deeply. You made everyone you met feel special also. Thank you for that.

So sad to learn of Sheila's passing.  She was such a wonderful lady, truly one of a kind.  She brought joy into so many lives, and she touched so many more people than she ever even knew.  She will be so very missed on this earth.  May she rest in peace.

Dear Kenny and Patty Reich,
May the fond memories of your step-mother and step-mother in-law give you some comfort during this very difficult time.  I know that Murray will need the strength of you both. My prayers are with you and your family.

Sheila was my second grade teacher when I was the principal of the Link Elementary School. She was a loving teacher, who established very special relationships with her students and their parents. She is the only teacher I knew of who was invited EVERY YEAR to one of her former student's graduation from high school. I am sad that I did not know of her death, but I am here in Naples, Florida for the winter, so I would not have been able to attend her funeral. She will always be remembered as a very warm and loving person and a teacher who made each student feel good about himself/herself. Rest in peace, Sheila!

although not at the funeral, my heart is there;  condolences to all;

Our hearts are broken at the passing of our dear Sheila. Having been an integral part of our lives beginning with the education of our two daughters, attendance at all of our family's simchas and time spent with us in Florida, her beautiful smile and spirit will be with us always. She was and always will be the consummate educator, mentor and friend. We were so fortunate to have been blessed with her presence. Our condolences to the entire family.

Sheila was my first grade teacher almost 40 years ago. She was a very special person to my family and to me. She was a reader at my wedding and she was so touched. She touched so many people with her kind and loving spirit. My family will always remember her with great love.
