In the 1960's, I also lived in the second floor suite with my friend, Pat Vince. We had so much fun with Sylvia and her family. I am s sorry to hear of her passing, but I am sure wherever she is, she will make her presence known. She was a beautiful person outside and well as inside.

During the l960's I rented the second floor suite at your beautiful home and so enjoyed my time there. Sylvia was beautiful, warm, fun and very attentive to her family and business. Elegant would also describe her..and I recall the white convertible she drove. Janet, Julie, Anthony and little Lisa..I remember all of you. How wonderful you had your Mom for so long. She has gone to her reward in Heaven..I am sure. Miss her...but know she is so happy enjoying her eternal reward.

Dear Janet & Family,
Sincere condolences on the passing of your beautiful, sharp & active mom, who always maintained the best figure & posture too! I remember her since elementary days & then as the new owner of H. Milner Salon at Shaker Square. I admired her ability, as an independent woman, to take over a business & run it single-handedly for so many yrs.. She was a Shaker icon to me & created a memorable legacy.

Our deepest sympathy is extended to the DeFranco family. So sorry to hear of your beautiful Mother's passing. She was a lovely woman that I have fond memories of while growing up, and she always had a smile on her face when I would pop in to say "Hi" at her salon at Shaker Square. Rest in peace, Aunt Sylvia.
