I don't want to say good-bye to my Aunt Sylvia. It was a shock to have heard of her sudden death! She was my mom's best friend. They were born in the same month only several days apart, but in different years. For years they celebrated their birthdays together! I will miss her. I love you Aunt Sylvia.
I first met Sylvia when she was managing a leather goods shop in the U.S. Armed Forces Exchange in Vietnam. We were introduced by her sister who became and remains my wife of many years. Sylvia prevailed over many difficult challenges to acquire her college education in California and long-term employment with and retirement from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. All who knew her will surely miss her cheerful demeanor and positive outlook on life.
