So very sad to hear of Sylvia's passing. Had met her on Facebook and had been friends for a decade. She was the most sweet and caring person, always willing to lend an ear. An Angel in Heaven!

I was just thinking of Sylvia and was thinking of contacting her. We were friends when we both lived in Canarsie  a section  of Brooklyn, New York on E. 85th St.  she lived only a few homes down from me and I’ve always known her as a very gentle, caring person.
I do remember the trauma she went through when her mother had passed away    Sylvia must’ve been maybe 13 years old.
I was able to contact her many years ago and we were talking on the phone and she was telling me about this man that she was dating that was such a superior man and he ended up passing away.   I know that she was caring for her elderly father 
So, just recently I was thinking about her and then my friend who lived on E. 85th St. as well and knew Sylvia as well, told  me about Sylvia’s passing.
I am saddened to hear
I know she had an older brother that lives in Israel with his wife and children, and I did not see anything on the obituary page about her brother. 
I just wonder if their relationship had healed because I know they did not have a good relationship
Sylvia, rest in peace.   No more suffering.    You will join your mom and dad in eternal life and comfort!  
Gods bless you! 
Jackie

I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I friend's with Sylvia from grade school through high school, but we'd been out of touch. I was thinking about Sylvia and decided to google her, and I saw this sad news. May her memory be a blessing.

Sylvia tried to break up my boyfriend and I when we first started going out because she had a thing for him. Obviously, it didn’t work. It just made our bond stronger. P.S. We’re still together today.

Our deepest condolences to Sylvia's family and friends,
I met Sylvia 25 years ago, when my family moved onto the same building floor as  Sylvia.   I quickly got to know her and over time our relationship evolved from neighbor to friend.  I looked forward to her sense of humor and her wide smile.  Sylvia was a gentle soul but confronted her many medical problems with strength and courage.  I admire her grace under fire!  Sylvia was a compassionate person and selflessly took care of her father when he got very sick, so it was fitting that she had her own angel, Jack, help take care of her when her health declined.   As Sylvia needed more and more help, Jack was always there to provide assistance.  He visited her nearly every day for months taking her to doctors, physical therapists, shopping, taking her for walks, and offering unwavering emotional support!  He was truly an angel on this earth!  It is a tribute to Sylvia's character that she had such a wonderful, amazing friend! And it is a tribute to Jack that Sylvia was a devoted friend to him. They had a rare bond!  
  It was nice to hear the many stories about Sylvia.  It is obvious that she was a special person and will be missed by many!  Joe and I will miss you Sylvia!  We hope that you have found the peace that you so deserve!  
With sincere condolences to Sylvia's family and friends,
Eva and Joe
