It's really shocking when a healthy person passes away like this.
Sibyl was more than a friend. Although we never met face to face, she was a joy to work with and converse. Her Dreamland project was here dream come true and a way to give back to the community.
The board and Staff at Shorefront (Evanston, Illinois) will miss her friendship, partnership and energy
