SYLVIA APELBAUM

So sorry for your loss, i knew Joe from Raytheon and went to school with his daughter Diane,

I apologize for such a late message. I was visiting old friends (who coincidentally live in Newton), which made me think of Sylvia. In doing an Internet search, I came across the obituary.
Sylvia was my 1st boss (CIS), after finishing college at UC Berkeley and making an unplanned move to the East coast. She was a public servant in its best form - professional, ethical and caring. And she was both fair and kind towards me.
I was very sad to read the news. But I know that she...

Diane my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

To the family,
I had the privilege of working with Sylvia at Citizen's Information Service in the State Secretary's Office many years ago....at the very beginning of that agency. She was terrific. Sylvia was smart, organized and a pleasure to work with. When I left as Exec. Director she took over that role and took CIS to new heights. She was a great cook and loved her family and community. I was happy to call her a friend and colleague. Sylvia will be missed.

Diane my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Sincerely, Anita

Dear Joe,

We were so sorry to read of Sylvia's death this morning. We are in Florida and will not be able to attend her service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sylvia's lemon bread was always a hit with Jim's folks. Our deepest sympathy
