Sending our condolences to Kathy and Families. My Mom, Jeanette was a good friend to Sylvia when she lived in Cobourg. Five years ago Mom moved closer to me in Petawawa and they continued to phone each other weekly.

Sylvia was a long time valued friend; we met at the Northumberland Mall in a walking group . We enjoyed many breakfasts together at Zellers and our daily exercise. She was a good friend for 23 years. When she was no longer able to get out to walk with us Ted McDonald and I would call her, pick up McDonald's coffee and spend a morning visiting with her and enjoying her company. She had a great sense of humour; I will miss her every day. Rest in Peace my friend.
My condolences to the Hiemstra, DeJong, Greydanus and extended family. Kathy and family. Sylvia was a gentle wonderful lady. She will be missed. God be with you all. R.I.P. Sylvia. All my love, Sue.
