I am so very sorry to learn of Sylvia´s passing. I attended Bethany Union church, and used both Becca and Mark as babysitters from time to time. She has been in my thoughts lately, a very sweet memory of singing alto, using Fisherman Friend cough drops (which was not recommended), sharing music, giggling in the choir loft. You are loved and remembered, my sweet friend.

Dear Ron and family,
Karen and I were saddened to hear of Sylvia's passing. We have fond memories of raising our families on Dakota Ct. and the "Children, the Challenge" meetings we shared over a lot of wine. We still talk about you going through security...full of safety pins. A chapter of our life has closed. May she rest in peace.

Dear Ron, Sylvia was a committed fellow Board member for Musicians Club of Women for many years. While we so very much appreciated her excellent contributions as Corresponding Secretary, we were most thankful to Sylvia for her insightful, intelligent voice of reason and guidance. Always elegant, she shared her warmth through her friendships. I am so happy to have know her and worked with her. My deep condolences to you and your family. Sincerely, Jan Newman
