Sylvia was an amazing person. A strong woman who had an incredible laugh. Tiny but mighty. I can see you in heaven flying around racing the angels. Love you!
So sorry for your loss. May God be near to you all and give you His peace.
I thought the world of Sylvia. From the first time I met her as a teen, she was kind and generous. Most of all, she was the poster-child of moms to her children. Go with god, Sylvia. Bob Allen
