Messages of Condolence

I remember that Sylvia was friendly and warm whenever we talked. She always took an active interest in what was going on in my life and she presented herself as a regal lady, to the point where I would ask Tina, more than once, if she were British. ;-) The last time I saw her was at Tina and Justin's wedding reception where we all dressed up in 1920's garb and Sylvia had a feather in her hair, dressed up as a flapper. We had a good time that night and she and I had a good conversation. To the family, my sincere condolences.

We are so shocked and saddened at the sudden passing of Sylvia. Bruce and Sylvia rented office space from us at Haddon when they were running Promo Concepts together and we got to know them both very well. Their dog, Jasper, was the brother of our dog, Carter, who is still with us and we had a lot of fun with the dogs at the office. I had just caught up with Sylvia a month ago via email and we going to get together and have lunch. We are again so sorry again for your loss, she was a wonderful woman. We unfortunately can't make it to her service but are sending love, hugs. and sincere condolences. Charles and Julie Reid
