Aunt Sylvia....you are our special guardian to Charlotte Grace. While you were passing to heaven she was passing to earth. Keep a sparkling eye on her; we will pray for you.

Dear Gryska family,
My deepest condolences. Sylvia was a wonderful woman who loved her family so much. She was always there to lend a helping hand. I don't think she was happier than when she was hosting a family party or entertaining at the cottage. I have thought of her often through the years and will remember her with very fond memories. A truly beautiful woman.
