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.
