Sylvia was one of my best friends at South High School. We played all of the sports in GAA (Girls Athletic Assoc) We always had a great time together. After we graduated in 1961 we lost track of each other about 3 years later. I will always remember my high school friend. My deepest sympathy to Tracy, Todd and the rest of the family.

RIP my friend
