David, Catherine and families. My deepest condolences on Sylvia’s passing. I have very fond memories growing up of Sylvia. She was one of my favourite aunts. Her smile and warm heart always made me smile. Although I have been away from home for many years the memories are still close to me and thought of often. The world has lost a wonderful and kind person. Sylvia will be greatly missed by all who knew her. May God bless you all. Rest In Peace Sylvia.

David and Catherine, although nothing can ease the heartbreak you are feeling, I hope that knowing how special Sylvia was to so many provides you with some comfort. She was always a special aunt to me. I will always cherish my memories of her. From her frequent visits and outings with us as kids to our fun banter about Donald Trump more recently, Sylvia always made me smile. Her energy and passion for life was infectious. She has certainly left her mark in this world and we will never forget her. Love RP

I was both shocked and saddened to hear of Sylvia's passing. I counted her as a kindred spirit. Life is but a fleeting moment, and she made the best of her's. Lorraine and Carolyn, know with certainty that her life left an impression with me. I always felt comforted in her presence. To you the family, may you find comfort in your personal memories and may you see her dancing on another shore free from the misery of pain. Praying for your intentions and remembering her with love.

Sending our Sincerest Sympathy in learning of Sylvia's passing. Sylvia was a true role model of Family, Faith, Kindness, Love, and Compassion. Sylvia always knew the right words to say to help a person see the positives in life, especially during tough days. During Mom (Lillian Curley's) illness, on tough days, a conversation with Sylvia would leave Mom smiling, and ready to keep on living. I will always treasure those memories, as well as the hand written notes Sylvia gave me during my time caring for Mom, and after her passing. Messages filled with Love, Gratitude, and Living a faithful life, regardless of what comes your way.
May you all draw strength from each other, and friends near and far, as you join together to celebrate the life of a Wonderful Woman.
Gods Blessing sent,
Gail and Clinton Jewell

Dear David, Catherine & family, extended Eagles & Doucette families, we are very saddened to hear of Sylvia’s passing & send you our sincere condolences. Sylvia was a beautiful lady of strength, strong faith, and very dedicated to our church & CWL family, always eager to help out wherever she was needed and lend a helping hand. It was indeed a pleasure to see Sylvia & that friendly smile at church or just out & about for her walks, She always had time for a friendly chat & chuckle while out for those neighbourhood walks and would firstly ask how our kids were doing, so caring and kind. The video displayed here is beautifully put together and captures so many wonderful highlights of her beautiful family & church life, she will be very missed. Thinking of you all in your emotional loss.
