Dear Jodi and Ben, 
I have been searching for you all online for a while but with no  results but this time I found you and this sad news about Sybil. You probably don't remember me but I knew you all in Houston way back in the 70's when I was over from the UK working with your mum and visited once in Austin. I loved your mum dearly and she was one of my first real grown up friends and she taught me a lot about enjoying life and being authentic. Your loss must feel very difficult even now and all I can do is send you my very best wishes and my sincere condolences, Hilary Brown UK

Ben and Jodi,
I just learned of Sybil's death. I am so very sorry. She was a wonderful friend, a terrific mother, and a delighted grandmother. Few people brought as much love, joy, and laughter to life as Sybil.

Ben and Jodi, I worked for Sybil from 1999 until 2005 in Austin.  Can't tell you how much I loved her.  She had a heart of gold, an extraordinary sense of humor and welcoming attitude.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Jodi and Ben, I am so sorry for your loss!  I have only just found out about Sybil's passing, and wish I had known sooner.  Sybil was my boss when I was the Administrator at the Children's Center of Austin.  I can truly say she was the best boss I've ever had.  And while I had not seen her in quite some time, I know I, too, shall miss her so much.  She was the best!

To Jodi and the entire family, my sincere condolences on Sybil's passing.  I remember her as a lovely, engaging lady with a wonderful and thoughtful sense of humor.  I thoroughly enjoyed every minute spent with her. God bless her...and you also.  Best regards always

Ben/Jody:
I am so sorry to hear about Sybil's passing.  She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.

Thank you all for your thoughts and words. It's so wonderful to hear others remembering mom. She was an amazing, special person.

I worked with Sybil for about three  years in the early 80's at the Infant Programs at MHMRA of Harris County. She was such a delight to work with: dedicated, smart, funny, insightful and positive. She always took time to truly listen and was a fantastic supervisor and colleague. We remained friends for many years but lost touch in the last decade. I am so sad to learn or her passing and so wish I could have said goodbye and told her how much her friendship meant to me. My sincere condolences.

Sybil was truly a great person & I will so miss talking with her.  All our sympathy to her family.

Sybil was my supervisor for the past three years and on behalf our team, she will truly be missed. She has been missed dearly for the last 6 months and we all wish we wouldve gotten a chance to express to her how much she has impacted our lives. Sybil dahlin, I am sure you had a safe transistion and I know you are discussing the next iphone w steve jobs. Farewell, dear friend.

I am so sorry to hear of the Sybil's passing. She and my sister were good freinds in elementary school and her mother and my mother were also ggod friends. Our prayers are with you.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May the family of Ms. Dunaway, be comforted by reflecting on a time when all  sicknesses, pain and suffering which sometimes ends in death, will be abolished forever.
