Dear Niki, Heidi & Jerry,
Sybil will always be in my memories of the good times we had growing up.
She was the cousin I looked up to and she was a good friend. I'm glad I had these past few years to be there for her. The chaplin spoke such true words about her.
With Love Cousin Jane Rosenblatt

Sybill was a very unique woman. She was one of the first friends I made at the HRC when I became Gift Shop Manager, and we connected immediately. When I went to Israel this year, I brought her a small gift from Jerusalem. I will never forget how touched she was that I thought of her. But I counted her as a good friend, and I shall miss her terribly.

My thoughts are with you at this time. I had the pleasure of spending time with Sybil on a few visits along with my close friend Matthew Harris and I enjoyed those times.

I never forget spending time with Sybil and Jerry in 1970 the year I graduated High School. I stayed with Uncle Dave and Aunt Evelyn for a month. Everyone showed me the sights, it was a bonding time spent with my west coast relatives. Sybil was so active back then. They are good memories. My best to cousins. From Janet & Peter Stankiewicz
