Every time we see flowers bloom in the spring, we will picture Sylvia in her garden lovingly tending her plants. We were blessed to have shared many hours with her and Ken in friendly competition for the best garden. To her family, Ken, Paul, Christopher and their extended families our thoughts and prayers are with you as we all share the loss of this wonderful person.

We are so sorry for your loss. We knew Sylvia from Nello's Restaurant where we frequented before retiring to South Carolina 3 1/2 years ago and many times a year when we go back to visit family and friends. We saw her fight this with great strengh but she always had a smile on her face. We will miss seeing her at Nello's
