Dear Phil and Family, On behalf of Esperanza I want to offer you my condolences for the loss of Sylvia. She was a terrific person and we all enjoyed working with her. She cared deeply for the students at Esperanza and dedicated a good portion of her career to those with disabiilties. On a personal note, Sylvia was very understanding as a supervisor and placed a lot of faith in her employees. I will never forget her annual tap dance performances that she happily put on for the students. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend her service, but wanted to express my sympathies to you.
