This planet will not be the same without Aunt Sylvia. We were fortunate to have her at all, let alone for these many years. My Mom always loved her visits and Dad always relied on her guidance and intelligence in many important issues. She was a tireless volunteer and always thought about others. She'll be missed every day, as will her kugel! She was a wonderful Aunt and a great friend to both me and Tom. ~ Sue Kurzman & Tom Silvestri

Inspiring. Sylvia´s energy, whit, grit, and heart were simply inspiring. I will aspire to be like her until my time comes. Thank you for passing down your kugle recipe, which will remind me of you every year. Thank you for raising Michael and teaching Sam, both of whom have played such important roles in my life. Thank you for being you. I love you, Aunt Sylvia. May your memory be a blessing.

Sylvia and I volunteered together at Saint Mary's hospital for many years. She was one of the most caring persons that I have ever met. She would call just to say hello or to see how you were doing. And if you saw her anywhere or anytime she greeted you with a hug. She cared deeply for her family. I will cherish my memories of her.

I meet sweet Sylvia at St Mary´s as a volunteer. She made my twin granddaughters two beautiful baby blankets when they were born. They still cherish them 14 years later.
