Thelma, sister of Sylvia, feels the sorrow of losing her older sister, Sylvia.   Sylvia has always been a close, devoted and loving sister to Thelma.  When growing up in Williamsburg, these two loving daughters adored their parents and were so caring to each other.  When married and raising families, Thelma could not be far away from Sylvia and lived in the same apartment building as her older sister she adored.  They spent so much time with one another and enjoyed family occasions together.  When growing older, the two would often talk on the phone, and visiting one another as much as possible.  Sylvia always thinking about Thelma, and Thelma always thinking about Sylvia.  When Sylvia turned age 100, Thelma got the strength and enthusiasm so she could celebrate in-person with her older sister.   Thelma will always love her loving sister, Sylvia.   She will miss her dearly.    

I have so many fond memories of my Aunt Sylvia.   When I was a young boy, I enjoyed spending time with her at family gatherings.  She was a devoted wife to Larry and a loving mother to Sharon and Bruce.  A loving daughter to Abe and Rose.  As I grew older, I developed a greater appreciation of who Sylvia was.  A loving mother, wife, sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt.  She and I would talk quite often on the phone.  She always loved to talk about the stock market as she watched the business reports on television.  Always asking me how I was.  She was a loving older sister to my mom, and I could not ask for a better aunt and godmother.  I am so happy that I was able to celebrate her 100th birthday with her, and when I saw her that day, she still remained as that kind, intelligent, loving person that she always had been.  Rest in peace, Aunt Sylvia.
