It is with great sadness for Saul and Sylvia's family that I write this tribute. Sylvia had a zest for life and was always happy. Working for Wescott and living in Winnipeg for a few years allowed me the pleasure of knowing this remarkable family. Sylvia was a gracious host whenever we were welcomed into her home. She made a fantastic Apple Pie! She will be missed by all but mostly by her loving companion Saul and her children. Love to you all and may you have many wonderful memories to fall back on when times are rough. Dawnyca - Posted by: Dawnyca Cristello (nee Wylie) (Associate and friend) on: Dec 09, 2013

I will remember Sylvia as a happy and fun to be around person. In my working relationship with husband Saul at Wescott Fashions many years ago I had many occasions to interact with Sylvia and it was always enjoyable.

Condolence to the bereaved family. I will never forget you and your generosity. you opeedn your home for me to adjust myself to Canada. You welcomed me, making me feel like home. You were not a relative but you treated me more than a sister instead of a paid worker. My expression of gratitude is to let your family know how grateful I am and your memories will always be cherished. - Posted by: Dolly Estrada (Mothre's helper cleaning lady) on: Nov 19, 2013
