To Sylvia's family:
Your Mom was gift from God to my mother, Florence, and our family. When they became roomates at BP, my Mom's life brightened - it was clear that they enjoyed each others company. Sylvia was caring and helpful and full of entertaining stories. She helped make the last year of my Mom's life much better. I thank God for their time together and pray that they have had the chance to see each other again.
