While we have not seen Sylvia in many years since she moved away from Raleigh, we have very warm memories of her. She was indeed a very beautiful person on the inside as well as on the outside. She always a smile on her face and she was always very active and very passionate about her work in the church. Our sympathy is extended to the family.

Sylvia always greeted me so warmly when I attended First Christian Church in Charleston with my son, Chip, and his family. She was such a nice person and I treasure the friendship we shared when she lived in Ralegh years ago and also in Charleston.

I am very sorry to hear of Sylvia's passing. She was always very kind and sweet to me. She always made it a point to speak to people and make them feel welcomed in our church. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. I will keep her family in my prayers.
