Sylvia has been such an amazing person, friend, and neighbor for the past nineteen years. We are definitely going to miss our block-watch mother. She always kept a watchful eye on the neighborhood, and now she will do it from up above. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with her and her family now, and we hope the family may find some comfort in time knowing she is with Jake again.
Sincerely,
Ron, Sherry, and Shawna Chaffin

Sylvia will be missed so much. I loved talking to her. She always made me laugh. She was one of the best grandma's around. I enjoyed all the 33 years I knew her. She meant so much to me.
I am sorry for your families loss.
