Syl, I never forgot you and our beginnings together. I planted a tree in your honor. I hope it grows beautifully as you were. Remember upper and lower fields, getting the measles together, the lessons and learnings, Thelma and ?.... (not Louise!!!!) .and then we lost touch. And then I heard about you, even saw you selling in the fur shop, but never found you again. We talked once about your daughter when she got sick and you faded from us all. You were well loved by your adopting parents. To the family and people who embraced and love you, I am sorry for your loss. Sylvii....I cried for you today. Of course I did. Now do your homework; I'm going to check and I know you are going to get it Hope your leg didn't give you any trouble later on. I remember when you broke it. Now you are free to be all over again. You were my first best friend. June
