Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Tom and his sons. My memories of Sil are all wonderful. We worked together many years ago at Brotherhood Winery and Sil kept in touch all these years.

Sil, was such a ~ people person ~ it was difficult not to become her friend.

May she rest in peace and may God bless her family.

Sincerely,

Bob Camillone & family

Tom,
I am so sorry to learn that Sil has died. Sam and I always enjoyed visiting with her and you, too, whenever you used to stop in at the nursery. She always had a smile and a laugh to share and it was always good to run into her around town. I know how much you will miss her. Please extend my condolences to your children.

Sincerely, Jackie Mancino
