The Berkowitz and Makow families are so sad to hear about the loss of Sheila Greenfeld. Sheila was Shirley Berkowitz's lifelong friend since elementary school in The Bronx. 
Our condolences to her family. May her memory always be a blessing.

Sheila was Chris' mother-in-law; his late wife Ronni's mom.  I called her my mother-in-law, once removed.  When Chris and I met, Sheila and her husband Alfred Greenfeld were the first people Chris wanted to introduce me to. I was so nervous meeting them; after all, I was "replacing" their beloved daughter in Chris' life.  I needn't have worried; they embraced me with open arms.  They adored Chris and just wanted him to be happy.  I quickly fell in love with them too. We lost Al in 2017 and Chris in 2021.  My relationship with Sheila endured.  She was the most generous, loving and strong woman.  During the last 17 years of her life, she suffered the loss of her first grandchild, her husband, both of her daughters and two sons-in law.  She leaves behind her son & daughter-in-law, Michael & Bonnie Friedel Greenfeld, 7 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, her sister-in-law Barbara Chale and a slew of nieces, nephews and friends who adored her.  A life well lived. She will be so missed.

DJ’s Bar Mitzvah…This was the last time that we got to see this extraordinary woman in person. We loved her very much .. She was the strongest woman I have ever known! I will miss our “Yenta Line “ phone calls! She made me laugh and gave me strength! The mold was broken when she was born. There will never be another person  like her again. 
Love, 
Chris, Stu, Justin & Caitlyn
