March 20, 2021 7:00 PMSylvia was a pleasure to know! As a friend of my Mom’s, Sylvia joined us on a trip to Italy. It was her first time flying and first foreign country! We all had a great time! She even danced with the party host at one of our dinners! It was joyful watching her dance the Macarena, having the time of her life! Rest easy sweet chocolate chip (as she called me)! You left me/us with a fabulous memory.
