I have fond memories of Sylvia and her husband. I visited them as much as I could. She guided me through my undergraduate program and was there for me with strong support until she passed. She is an angel smiling upon me from heaven as I returned 5 years ago to my first career and have made it to a managerial leadership position. Thank you, Sylvia.

Over these years, I still think of you, the great academic advising, and the years of visits until you passed. Thank you, Sylvia, for all you gave to me.
