Sylvs was amazing. I think my friend and boss at work, Tracy Weber, might have explained her best. I hope he doesnt mind that I share what he wrote to me: When I first heard last night of Sylvia passing to the other side I felt so much emotion. I have known her for over 20 years. Many of the moments spent with her went rushing thru my head. Because of my sadness I could not fall back to sleep for a few hours. In regards to Tobinworld, Sylvias first concern was always the students. Sylvia was blessed in her ability to connect to students with autism. Even more powerful was her love and caring for them. No challenge was to big for Sylvia. I remember her enthusiasm for the shit throwing student in thinking she could help change his ways. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and caring helped him overcome this disgusting trait. Most people would run away from this challenge, but not Sylvia. Sylvia would only see the good in people. There were times Sylvia and I would not see eye to eye in work related matters. I was always looking out for the overall corporation. Sylvia was always looking out for only the students. Sylvia was more pure in her intentions than I was. This was one of the things that made her so special. It takes many types of people to run a successful school. Sylvias super sized heart, logic and determination is what she brought to the mix with great success. I still remember when I brought our dog Coco to school one day. Sylvia picked her up with her arms and looked eye to eye with her with their noses touching. They starred at each other with love. I now can not get that vision out of my head. People like Sylvia do not come along often. Unfortunately it seems to be a common occurrence that God only lets some of the most special souls have a limited time on this earth. I believe Sylvias soul and presence will be felt here for quite some time. My heart goes out to you and your family Chris. But I know the essence of Sylvia is still with you and will always be with you watching out for you and guiding you. With a heavy heart, Tracy From my IPad
