Farewell Aunt Sylvia,
Growing up I always thought you were Dad's sister, and it was not till when I was much older he explained the connection then when I came to Canada we had a conversation and he told me that you were his favourite cousin. Doing the family tree I realize the connections. My memories of growing up with you and your family are happy memories, especially spending third weekends at your place playing with Judi were fun memories to keep. You were such a supportive person and quite a lady. I was happy to have spent the time with you when I was in Ft.Lauderdale.
I knew you would call my Dad, so I hope you are both enjoying yourselves 'up there' catching up on the old days.
Lots of blessings for Uncle Horace, Albert, Cecelia & family, Judi, Bridget & Russ.
Love
Linda

Aunt Sylvia, I will surely miss you even though I have been so far away for so long. I always looked forward to your Christmas cards each year, but before that when I lived in Florida I remembered us on some weekends making Bow and other "goodies". It has always been a great feeling doing these things with you because of your lovely demeanor and humor. My condolences to "Grand P" Horace, Albert, Cecelia, Marc, Andrew, Judy and Bridgette. No amount of words can erase the sorrow but I hope that with the good memories and with time the pain will disappear and only the wonderful memories will be left.
Love, Sonia Tai and family

My Grandma took an interest in everything that I did or liked. I always knew she cared.. She was always there whenever I needed advice. Always there, if I needed someone to talk to, and alleviate my fears. When I messed up, she was there to help... some secrets we kept between just her and I. We spent many good times together, whether it was talking, joking around, cooking (making chili - my fave), baking pies, watching TV, doing jigsaw puzzles, or wordjumble puzzles, she made it special.
The way she carried herself was an inspiration to all that knew her. She had a quiet strength about her. Though in pain, she would rarely let it be known, and those few times when she did let anyone know, I knew it must have been an awful lot of pain for her to ever complain. When I picture an ideal Grandmother, she always comes to mind. She was Strong, Wise, Kind.. no one could ask for more.
So I say, Rest well and be at Peace..
We'll meet up again in the end..
My Grandmother, mentor, and friend.

Aunt Sylvia showed great strength and composure while she was ailing and it will be one of the many good things that I will remember about her. May she rest in peace.
Our love to Bert, Grand "P", Ces and the rest of the Chang family.

Sylvia was the matriarch of our family. When Mom died, she took over the role of mother. Then when Dad died she courageously took over his role as father. She kept the family safely together. With her taking care of the other siblings, I was able to go to college abroad knowing that they were in good hands. When I returned from the service, I found that she had done a remarkable job in caring for her brothers and sisters, and she had married a very loving and remarkable man, Horace. They both raised a very loving and caring family. I was the man and the eldest of the family then, but Sylvia took over the helm and did a wonderful job. I take my hat off to her....my beloved Sister, a great woman. I will miss her, but I know I will be reminded of her when I look at her children.
Love, Stanley (Dungs)

When I think of Grandma what comes to mind? Bridge parties and little sandwiches with the ends cut off? Sitting at the kitchen counter on Gouster Ave. watching her fuss over the Roast Pork? Always having her there when coming home from school? Catching lizards with coconut leaves? A love of gardening?Misadventures with cars? These and many more warm memories in some way all relate back to her. Every child should be so lucky growing up.

Auntie was always very cool, calm and practical in every situation and never seemed to get upset. I should know, because I was a terror at six years of age. One of my fondest memories was Auntie teaching me to play Gin Rummy. She will be greatly missed by us all.

My favourite aunt, I will sorely miss you and I am thinking of you all the time but I know that you are resting in peace without pain in that courtyard with a fountain in the middle. I am glad our last visit was full of laughs.
