Condolences

Todd and family, I am just now hearing of Sylvia's passing and would love to tell you how truly special Sylvia was to myself and my family when we lived in Mount Forest. She spoke of you often and her trips to London while we volunteered together at the Mount Forest Thrift Shop. I teasingly referred to Sylvia as "The Slacker" at the thrift shop as she would have me running around for her while she stayed at the cash register. Oh how I looked forward to my volunteer days with her, so much so that we made sure to switch our days to coincide. Unfortunately, I returned to the paying world to help with household expenses and 2 teenagers but would stop in just to see "Slacker." Please accept my families condolences on the passing of a lovely lady and beautiful soul. Regards, Tali, John, Taija and McKenna McGovern
