SYLVIA A. LUCIA

Dear Ray and family, please accept our sincere condolence on behalf of family her Dad's side here in Canada. We will always remember the excitement we felt in anticipation of visits to Winnipeg from our "American cousins from Cleveland." My first big trip away from home was to Cleveland and I will always remember with such fondness and appreciation how she opened her home to me. That was in 1970 when she was a newly wed with small children. May God bless you and keep you in his mercy. Love,

We offer our sincere condolences to Sylvia's family and friends. The last time I (Ken) saw Sylvia was in 1968 while visiting Uncle John & Anne Stecki in Brunswick Ohio. Time flies & maybe we don't pay attention to one another enough. Sylvia, rest in peace. We'll meet again.

Love,

Your cousin's

She loved decorating and was always present, with a helping hand and words of encouragement and reassurance, to do the table center pieces for the WM...
