I will always remember your loving caring heart. The smile that you always had from the first time my parents took us to your house some 40 years ago to the last time I saw you a few years ago will forever be with me.
Love you

My dear Aunt Cindy. She was truly one of the sweetest, most precious people I've ever known. I will miss her & her beautiful smile more than I can say. But, I will remember & cherish the good times! I love you, Aunt Cindy.

It has been a number of years since Sylvia and I worked together at Boing, but I remember very well her genteel sense of humor and ready smile.

I had the pleasure of working with Sylvia at Boeing many years ago when I first hired into the company until she retired. She was always fun to work with. We lost touch over the years but her previous co-workers and I still remember her with fondness. My sympathy goes out to her family.
