Sylvia passed away peacefully Friday evening April 25th, 2008. Diagnosed with cancer she defied the odds, and in her last years enjoyed a full life. Predeceased by husband and best friend for forty- five years Henryk, she was the proud mother of Stephen, Peter, Alexandra, adoring grandmother of Marika, Milan, Julian and Anna, and loving sister of Charles and Dorothy. Born in Toronto, she resided longest in Montreal, and made her final home in Victoria B.C. Both a talented painter and poet, she lived life with passion for the arts and nature, and love for family and friends. She engaged with those of all ages and walks of life and was admired and loved by all...she will be sorely missed.
POSSIBILITY
No words of hope escape their lips
As a mountain
And equally imposing
Unseen unsung
Shared moments breathe an
Unrelenting destiny
The possible awakening
Of a world
Now hidden in a private place
Looking skyward
A white and magical star flickers
Piercing the perpetual darkness
Sylvia Reizes
Friends are invited to join the family at Sylvia's home in Victoria, on Sunday May 18th between 2 and 5 p.m.
