Syl was a great lady - I really liked her; she was one of the cool moms. She always made us feel welcome. Marnie and I practically lived there between lunch hours and weekends during high school. She always looked good - she had style. Her sense of humour wasn't like the other moms - she was funny. Put it this way...at a time when your parents were supposed to be so un-cool she still managed to be cool. We'll miss you - rest in peace Syl xo - Posted by: Tara O'Connor (My dear friend Nancy's mom) on: Nov 19, 2013
