Sliv was a wonderul supporter of sailboat racing in the Naples area. We all enjoyed seeing her with "her crew" at the regatta parties. She will be missed.

Although I am a relative newcomer to the Naples sailing community, it did not take long to recognize the respect and love everyone has for Sliv Goldman. Her spirit will live on, and we'll always think of her when we see her beloved Won Ton Too.

Thank you Sliv for all of your generosity, presence and support of the Gulf Coast Sailing Club along with donating Won Ton Too and Sliv. You made it possible for many sailors to race and for the races to happen! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the race committee for so many races and to know you thru this while on Sliv!

Have a wonderful boating journey!

Sliv Goldman was the first lady of sailboat racing in Naples. Her enthusiasm for sailing inspired us all, and her generosity enabled the racing community to enjoy more and better races. We consider ourselves privileged to have known her and we send our sympathy and love to her family.

Sliv has been one of the most generous persons many of us will ever know. Sliv has promoted the love of her family life in sailing. She supported the many events her family found dear to them and their friends to the enjoyment and benefit of all who knew her.



Thank You for being so generous with your talents and blessings.

Sliv you will be missed. I had the privilege of meeting sailors from the disabled sailing program you and your late husband created in Chicago and seeing the legacy of empowerment you created.

In Naples you have been like the fairy godmother of our sailing fleet. Thank you for your spunk, generosity, and support.

You will be missed.
