“Sibi” and I were friends particularly in our teen years (my last name was Rynveld) and although I hadn’t seen her in many, many years I remember our years of friendship very fondly. Probably the
only family member who might remember me is Art Freundlich, however I would like to express my sympathy to her whole family.
Dr.Colb & Suzi,
My deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. You are in my thoughts. Take care.
I am so very sorry for your loss Suzi, Bobby and Howie. I know it’s been many years, however, that doesn’t erase all the wonderful childhood memories our families spent together in Syracuse. My deepest and sincere condolences to you all as well as the entire extended family. May you all find strength together in this very difficult time. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time if I can be of any help or if you just want to talk or remember the past. I have such incredible fond memories of Sibby and Sam from Madison to Mountainview to Ramsey Ave. I was just telling someone recently of how well Duchess and Bobo played together. Please know that my thoughts and prayers and well wishes are with you all. With fondness, Abbey
Hi Susie and Mick,
Our deepest sympathy on the passing of your mom (we really mean that even though, sometimes, that sounds so trite). Susie, it was so nice talking with you the other day and since we spent a while talking about your Mom I was actually surprised that she had died so recently afterwards. I hope you’re holding up okay — since I’m an “orphan,” too and Chris just has his Mom left, well, here we all are, “baby boomers” moving onto another phase of our lives. (Any time someone brings up my or their age I respond with “That’s my grandmother’s age!’) Again, we’re thinking about you and Heather and Marci. Take care….
Love, Joyce and Chris
I just wanted everyone to know how sad I am to hear that Aunt Sibi passed away this week. I am thinking of everyone, sending love and good memories especially to Howie, Susie, Bobbi, Uncle Art, Dad, and families.
I last saw Aunt Sibi when she made the trip to Maine with Dad and Charlene, where we all stayed at my sister Lyn and her partner Billy’s cabin in Boothbay Harbor. It must have been nearly ten years ago. It was fantastic to spend some time with her then, although she did have some health issues during the visit. I particularly remember my son Jamie, then two or three years old, putting bandaids on Aunt Sibi when she had trouble breathing. He was quite concerned about her “owies.” It was a great interraction, and I am glad to have that memory, among others.
You are all in my thoughts.
Love,
Beth
