Sylvia J. Cohen

Sylvia was a dear heart & the loveliest of friends. She never let anyone down & her effervescent personality is still with all of us. I remember her as a vibrant person who truly lived every day. She filled her life full of fun & good works for all of us.

Dear Thad and Amanda,

Sylvia was so full of life and she brought a smile, laugh or energy to everyone that she touched. I still have my pearls and my Shepards of Australia dress that she helped me pick out. May her spirit continue to be with you. God bless you all.

Thaddeus and family,

I just learned today that Sylvia had passed away, I am so sorry. I still have the rosary beads and bracelet that she made for me - she was such a talented and giving person. Delray owes her a debt of gratitude for the work she did for us on affordable housing--she helped us get our community land trust started. She was a very compassionate person, and much too young to be gone. My deepest sympathies.

Thad, Amanda, and family -
I am shocked and saddened to hear of Sylvia's passing. I know how much she loved you both. The day Amanda came into to your lives was such an exciting time. Sylvia's shining light to this world lives on in all of you. Her love of life, family, and friends. Her arms were always open. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May you rest in the peace and compfort of the Good Shepherd's arms. Sylvia definitely is!

Thad and family,

We are so sorry to hear of Sylvia's passing and will keep her and your family in our prayers.

Dear Thaddeus and Amanda,
I am so sorry to hear of Sylvia's passing. She was a trooper as she stood with you while you layed the foundation for the Council for Black Economic Development. Although I did not know her well, I know you! Her spirit translates to a great relationship with her daughter, friends, family and of course, her dearly beloved Thad!

We will keep you and yours in our prayers,

Thad and family,
I am at a loss for words about Sylvia. I loved Sylvia for her energy and enthusiasm. Forty years- oh how she loved you. I am just so full of the days at Kent State writing this that I can bearly write. I am so sorry she is gone and so sorry about the way she left the earth.
Reading all the notes from people her knew her more recently, I can surely tell how she touched so many people's lives.

Sylvia was a member of the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge Photo Club and we have missed her for some time now and was sadden to hear of her death. It was always a pleasure to be around Sylvia and to see the photos she would share at the photo club meetings. I know she is getting awesome shots of the view from above.
Cohen Family,
I pray that God gives you comfort in the days and years to come. God Bless!

Thaddus and Amanda, my heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow. Sylvia was indeed a ray of sunshine in our end of the hall at the Department of Elder Affairs. She had such a positive attitude as well as being (rightfully) outspoken ( she called 'em like she saw them). I will miss her wit, humor, skill and cheerful disposition.

I will keep you and yours in my prayers and thoughts,
