Sylvia was a treasured client of mine for many years at Quincy Elder Services. Though most of our interactions were via telephone for making appointments she was one of the few that I had the pleasure of transporting myself on a number of occasions.
Such a kind and sweet person whose presence touched many of us.
My deepest sympathies to all of her family.
