Dear All,
How sad I feel that my precious Sylvia passed away....she was always so special to me from the day I came to stay at her house when Ralph and I were dating. I have such beautiful memories of her.....may these sustain all of us at this time. She was not a distant sister in law, but close and loving to me always. I will never forget!
