Not sure what to say?

My husband and I were in Over the River and through the Woods with Sylvia and we all won Henry Awards for the play. It was a privilege to know her. We offer our condolences to her family

I´m so sorry to hear of Sylvia´s passing, she was a wonderful person and a pleasure to have known her. Rest in peace Sylvia and fly high with the angels, love you always, Jill

Sorry that Sylvia has passed away...i remember her from the Mohawk days to working with her in Syracuse for UsAir, etc...she was an excellent to work with. She had such a great laugh..my condolences..Jan

My deepest sympathy goes to her whole family. I will remember her fondly from our years at DCA. I hope you will find the strength to adjust to your loss.

So very sorry to hear of Sylvia´s passing. She was my neighbor here in Bradenton once and we spent many a day hanging out front between our houses gabbing about the latest happenings of the day. Her dry spunky humor perpetually got us through our work outs at our evening physical therapy sessions and weekly exercise classes. An inveterate animal lover, she could be counted on to answer any questions about our pets. My condolences to her daughter, Sandy, who was truly the joy of her life

My thoughts have always been with you both. I was just a young teenager when I moved next to you. You both have made such a huge impact on my life. Thank you for always taking the time to show me how to maneuver through the world( even when it's not pleasant). Sandra, may you hold your memories close, your momma loved you immensely.

Had a passion for the arts.

RIP You will be greatly missed

Sylvia and I didn't know each other very long, but we had a good time sharing stories. Having a great love for animals and coming down from the north was how we connected. Sylvia's to me seemed always determined to not let anything hold her back and stiffle her independence. I will miss our little chats.
