I am deeply saddened to read about Sylvia's passing. Now that I finally retired, I had been meaning to give her a call and find out if she was vacationing to Las Vegas or somewhere else. She was my dear friend who would invite me to join her group and visit certain beautiful places. I haven't been to those places since. I have very fond memories of the times that we worked together, vacationed, etc. She always had a gentle smile and positive attitude. Even though I had not talked to her since I left Laredo, I will certainly miss her. My condolences, prayers, and love are flying to her family.
