I knew Sylvia only from her literary works, which were powerful in so many ways even in how she constructed her books. From her personal stories of forgiveness, redemption, and resilience I drew strength to face my own life situations that called for forgiveness, redemption, and above all resilience. I treasure the time she responded personally to a review of her book that I left on amazon, as if somehow we magically touched hands across the internet. Even though I never met her, I will miss her as if I lost a best friend. Belated condolences to all her friends and family.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Sylvia. I and others miss you so. It pains me that I did not know that you were ill.

My deepest condolences. I read her book My Fathers House when it was first published. At the same time under hypnosis
I was finding out about my Father. Several years ago a friend invited me to come to Hamilton, because Sylvia was giving a talk about her book. I forget the name of the building but I will never forget Sylvia . I gave her a few pages of my book to read ,which I hope some day will be published, she wrote back to me, still have her letter........what impressed her the most was a piece about a bunny flower, a dandelion in seed , she said it was simple with much meaning. I will cherish the letter, I only met her once but she impressed me , her strength and intelligence. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I hope someday my book will be published , I was born in 1937 in England. Margaret Marsan

My sincere condolences to her family and friends. I didn't know Sylvia personally but read about her involvement with animal rights and think she sounded like a sweet and interesting person. Rest in peace, Sylvia.

Condolences to her family. She was feisty and non hierarchical ad smart and let no one fool her. She inspired and supported many, and will be remembered.

Sylvia was a beacon: a writer, a feminist, an activist who never saw a barrier she couldn't break. Thankfully, we will always have her words. It's her life-enhancing smile and generous spirit I will miss.

The Sutter family sends condolences and best wishes. Mom (Dianne Sutter), a close friend from public school days in Hamilton, who passed about a year ago, was always proud of Sylvia's achievements. They always stayed in touch. Mom always particularly enjoyed the regular late summer gatherings with Sylvia and other "Group of Seven" friends from Hamilton. Here's a picture from the 1987 get together. In case it isn't obvious, that's Sylvia third from the left in bright red and flamboyant sunglasses.

Sylvia, we are really going to miss you here at The Summit. I enjoyed our chats over the years and looked forward to your insights on many of our `campus´ issues. I will remember your advice and council.
