Sylvia was loved by all of our "old time" bridge players. She was my bridge partner for 4 decades, and I will miss her.

I did meet Sylvia a couple of times, but mostly I knew of her from Mom talking about her, after playing at the Bridge Studio. Mom always enjoyed playing against Sylvia. I think she kind of viewed her as a rival, as they seemed pretty equally-matched in skills. They're playing against each other up in Heaven now. Sylvia, bid and make a Grand Slam, ok? 💜

Another loss of a great player. Though not real active at club anymore, I remember her from many years past. she was always gracious and a good player. On Eagles Wings and play that game in heaven as I now you will.
