To Billy & The Harris Family: My heart was deeply sadden when I heard of the homegoing of my dear friend Sylvia. We worked together at Verizon/Bell Atlantic/C&P for over 20 years. We stayed in touch with late night phone calls until the last couple of years. I missed our phone calls & always asked others how she was doing. She loved her husband & family. She always had a beautiful smile for everyone. She was a well dressed lady each time you saw her. This was truly a lady of God. Always remember LOve never dies. She will always live on in your hearts. LOve Nancy Broadie

To the family of Sylvia Harris:
Ms. Sylvia was a beautiful person who loved her family, her faith and her co-workers. After leaving the Lottery, I missed seeing her walk into the office just to say Hi! She always made sure to ask how your day was going and to give you a word of encouragement if things weren't going so well. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
