Dear Ron and family, please accept my sincere condolences. Sylvia was such a vibrant, positive lady. She was my right arm during my tenure at USAA’s Reston office.. She taught me the ins and outs of the place and was my confidante. We shared so many conversations each day. Her advice and guidance were invaluable to me. I will always be grateful for our time together. She was a treasure.
