I had many good times with Sylvia. She was a dear friend that enjoyed our many Saturday mornings after work cruising antique shops & Thrift stores. We usually bought nothing but totally enjoyed the hunt & seek & the comradery of hanging around together. She began to have health issues just after my husband & I had health issues. Tho we remained in phone contact the visiting became more & more sparse. I have missed her & will miss her still the rest of my days but very much appreciate the relationship we had in the past. Sylvia was a great person to many people & I know she is now in a great place with no more worries.
