Not sure what to say?

Sylvia was so special. She counseled my daughter since my daughter was a teen. She was a treasure. So sad to hear of her passing. The world lost a shining star. She will always be with us in spirit. May she rest in peace.

Sylvia Atkins (Dr Klatt) was my therapist after I lost my mom. We shared a love o cats! I was distressed over a cat that was roaming free in my condo complex and I was unable to home it. She came and rescued that cat. She couldn’t give it up. She named that cat Rocky! Rest in peace Dr Klatt (Atkinson)

Sylvia was my therapist for 15 years. I met Sylvia when I was 20 after my dad passed from cancer. She always made me feel heard and that I could accomplish anything I set my mind to. She helped me navigate the challenges of growing up, moving out, getting married, and welcoming my daughter. We connected with our love of animals and she even let me bring in my puppy to a session or two. I'll never forget the flamingos or her.....

Living in Wisconsin I always slept well knowing Sylvia and Mark were there for my family. Sylvia’s calm loving demeanor was always there. My grandchildren adored her and trusted her and Mark. My deepest sympathies to you Mark and your family and friends. Losing your soulmate is very hard I know. Be kind to yourself know you are loved.

Though her smile is gone, and her hand I cannot touch,
I have so many memories of the one I loved so much.
Her memory is now my keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has her in his keeping, I have her in my heart ❤

Until we meet again, Syl. The brightest star in the sky. Forever loved, forever missed. Xxx

Mark, I am so sorry to hear Sylvia lost her battle with cancer. My heart goes out to you. We were friends in a cancer support group. We have met as a group for over 25 years. We shared our up days and our down days knowing we had a safe and understanding group of friends to see us through. Sylvia will be missed.

Sylvia was my therapist for 6 years. I started seeing her shortly after my mother died of cancer. I always loved going into her office for a session. She had an infectious laugh and she always brought in the kittens to keep everything light and fluffy. I was privileged to know both her and her partner in practice Anne Barnes. My love to you both, and especially to Sylvia. I'll miss our little talks ❤

Mark, my deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved wife. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of you loss Mark. She sounds like a wonderful woman. My condolences.
