My deepest sympathies to both families especially Sylvia’s children and husband. I had the pleasure of working with Sylvia on St. James School Council doing the Meat Fundraiser and she truly cared about raising funds for the school and was very organized which made it enjoyable working with her.
She was very proud of her children and this you could tell just by watching them at school functions how they interacted with one another.
May she rest in peace!
