Dear Jim, Jo, Jamie, Brandon and families… Sybil was one of the nicest ladies I have ever
had the privilege of knowing. We started being friends way back in the 70s when we met every morning at Bud N Bette’s for coffee. There was so many things I admired about her. When she was in the nursing home and I knew she couldn’t see very well but she recognized my voice and expected hugs… I was happy to oblige… It won’t be the same going in there and she isn’t there. RIP dear Sybil.
