Sylvia was one of the nicest people ever. One of my parents' dearest lifelong friends. It was always a pleasure to find her visiting when we returned home. Always smiling and having an encouraging or positive remark to add. Truly one of gods angels. Rest in Peace Syl. You earned your wings. Thank you for being you. Peter
