I am so saddened by the loss of Sylvia. I worked with her for 10 years at Greyhound and she was not only like a mother but like a friend. She was always cheerful and ready to listen to whatever I had to say. She was very sweet to me and would bake cookies and bring me fruit (pears) which she knew were my favorite. Even when I quit working there she would send me treats. She also always cleaned and decorated for our Holiday events such as Christmas, birthdays, etc. I will always remember and miss her. And I’m so thankful that I had the pleaure of knowing her.
