Great loss. I met her in 2008 and she had a great committment to social justice. She was great company. She and I saw Robert Glaspar, a jazz pianist, at the Miller Theater in 09. She was great company. Much history of the left died with her.

I am so sad to hear of Sylvia’s passing. It is hard to imagine New York without her dynamism and enthusiasm! Sylvia never stopped fighting for the common man. She was a dear friend (even called herself ‘my fifth parent’!) I will miss her.

Sylvia was a beautiful woman; passionate about justice and generous beyond compare. She was a dear friend to my parents Harry and Sara Gottlieb and to me. I will miss her. Any plans for a memorial?

Farewell, Sylvia. San Antonio produced many fine friends of the working class and fighters for economic justice.

I didn’t know that Sylvia died – and am sad to hear that yet another fighter has gone.

Are you aware of memorial arrangements?
