My prayers and sympathy to Sylvia's
children, grandchildren and the Townsend families.
Sylvia and I were friends in 53 and 54. We went to different schools but would be at the Townsend home
or mine after school. I had dinner
at her home every Sunday. I loved
her Mom's potato salad and her Dad's
fried chicken.
I am truly sorry for the all the sadness in the families, first Wayne
and so soon Sylvia.
May God Bless all of you.
Birchie Allard Hutter
