On behalf of Citizens Advice Bureau New Plymouth, I want to extend my condolences to Andy and all of Sylvia's family on your loss. Sylvia was a much loved member of our voluntary service. I always enjoyed working alongside her at the bureau.
Fond memories of good conversations with her and lovely knitting for me she did some years back. Many thanks from myself, Rowan and Andrew to Andy for his care of her in the last few years.
Sylvia was a great lady and will be sadly missed at NP Little Theatre. My sincere sympathy to Andy and to Sylvia's family. Rest peacefully Sylvia.
Sad to hear of Sylvia’ passing and my condolences to the family. I worked with Sylvia at the law office back in the 80’s and have happy memories of those times. I did enjoy some lovely gatherings too at Muriel and Sylvia’s home on Mangorei Road. Happy times.
Extending my deepest sympathy to you Andrew and Sylvia’s family. I have very fond memories of Sylvia at Little Theatre. A talented woman who knew how to get the best from her casts and crew. RIP Sylvia.
