Dear The Schwartz Family,



Give our sympathy to you all. Sylvia was a great woman and very charmy. As I never forgot her when I was a little girl. I always went to the park and ice skated during the cold weather. Sylvia lived across the park and looked out for my brother, Tom and me to come over her house to share the hot chocolate drink and cookies all the time. She had lived in a wonderful 95 years! Now she joined with my dad in the heaven. Give my love to my dad up in the air.



She will be sorely missed by her family and friends including my family. God bless you all.



With our love and hugs,



The Nemecek Family

To Schwartz family ... I have known Sylvia as a sweet, pretty lady who always smiled to everyone when I lived in Chicago. Steven and I wish you the deepest sympathy of a loss.



Pat, you had a wonderful mother for 95 years, and she deserved a long beautiful life.
