I happened to search internet and came across this sad news. Years back, when I went to Trinity College, a friend used to help Sybil around house with chores. A few times I accompanied him and always enjoyed my time with Ms. Shearer. She was always a classy and beautiful lady. She will be missed.

There are no words to describe the feeling of a hole in my existence now that Sybil is no longer with us.

Our family was saddened to learn recently of Sybil's death. We enjoyed the all too infrequent times we spent with her.As a young boy growing up in Palatine, I had the pleasure of being introduced to the world of modern dance as my family created a life long frindship with a member of her dance company, Masao Yoshimasu. We miss them both
