    Very sorry to hear of Sylvia passing. As my brother Ron says, one of best memories was when Sylvia babysat for us and played hide and seek in house and the tackles. Also one of my most memorable moments was your wedding day and the Ava Maria. Fondly remember that. May she rest in peace and her memory be a blessing. Cousin Sharon (Kantor)Ublansly.
