    Sorry to hear of Sylvia’s passing. She was always an active lady… on the go. She had a pleasant manner and had an inquisitive nature. Sylvia had many interesting stories of her time serving our country
    Condolences to her family

    So sorry to read Aunt Sylvia passed away. She was married to my Dad ‘s older brother. While we didn’t see them often, I corresponded with her at Christmas time for many years. It was the returned Christmas card that came the other day that made me wonder about her health. Most of our families live in western Canada with a couple living east of Toronto. Dad spoke lovingly about his older brothers and their adventures as young lads. Our condolences to her family.
