A wonderful lasting tribute is the family she leaves behind. "No person ever dies as long as they are remembered by family and friends". Speak her name and she lives!

Sybil was a lovely woman who was my good friend. She was a fun person and never met a stranger. She always wanted her Crispy Tacos at our favorite restaurant, Mi Cocina Linda. She was an active member of Water Aerobics classes at Gold's Gym for over 20 years. It has been a pleasure to know her. Much love to her husband and her son's. Wendy Cappone
