Read MoreBill, so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful lady! She put me on the St. Rita School Board when my son, Michael, was in kindergarten there. Amazing experience for me. Enjoyed every minute. She will be truly missed here, but heaven will be a better place because she is there!

I was at your house so often Syl was like a second Mom. I taught Project Business for two years at Kennedy and she looked after me there as well. Was a fine person and someone I will miss. Your Mom and Dad shared a Wedding Anniversary with my Mom and Dad and possibly the McQueens. Great memories.

Syl is lifted up by the love and respect of hundreds, probably thousands of kids she educated - and the respect, at least, of a few dozen who dared cross her. They too got an education!
She was the best mother in law a guy could hope for, and an absolute blessing to Andie K., who needed to be adopted into the best family in the world, and was.
A life well-lived, indeed....Thank you, Syl, for the honor of knowing you and being part of a wonderful family.

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I always enjoyed her. She taught me to drink manhattans and eat great lasagna.
Take care!
