Dear Cassandra,

Sending my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Twenty years ago I bought Sylvia's home in Allentown, and watched on closing day as she drove off in her car headed for Arizona. I still live in this house and I see why she was so fond of the area.

Fondly,
Victoria Ruger

Dear Cassandra and Family, I worked at Liberty Bell school when Sylvia was the school nurse. She was so nice and always had a smile. I have thought of her often since she retired and moved to Arizona. I feel blessed to have met her.
Please accept my sincere condolences to you and your family.

Dear Cassandra and family, I worked at Liberty Bell Elem. when your mother was the nurse there. She was the nicest person and everyone loved her. I have thought of her many times over the years since she moved to Arizona. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Carol Beck Coopersburg
