To the family of Sylvia Golightly I want to express our sympathy to each of you. Mary, I did not know about Sylvia until Friday afternoon when I read the paper. I feel so badly because I did not attend the service. I know you and Sylvia were really close sisters. May God comfort you in this sorrowful time.

Mo,

There is no greater sense of security than to know that you're going to heaven when you die. You can know that today because you have trusted Jesus to take you there.

Be blessed and enjoy God's beautiful day!

My thoughts are with you. I just saw the notice and was deeply saddened. I enjoyed meeting her at Phase Boo. David

So sorry to hear that Sylvia passed away. We were very close friends all through the years. My deep condolences to her husband and other relatives. We were distant cusins. May God Bless. Cecil Browning
