Not sure what to say?

Sylvia....We miss you. The dinners and campfires will never be the same...a chair by the fire pit will be reserved for you. We miss your smile, your wisdom. But we are gratful you shared some time on earth with us and we are better for it. And knowing you Sylvia ....you will be looking over your family and sending lots of signals to everyone you touched........ Love you, Ann and Fran

My life was truly blessed to have such a generous and caring mother. Her love was unending and unconditional. It is now our turn to continue her generosity and kindness: smile often, say "hello" and offer assistance - even when it is inconvenient, and when others are in need don't ingnore them, offer a shoulder to lean on and listen. Sylvia's Kids Fund will honor her work by continueing to help those in need. Thanks for everything,Mom. We all miss you!

As a grandaughter and friend

I know I was loved,

like so many others.

One thing I know and will never

forget is "like an elephant" she

was faithful 100% (Dr.Suess).

She helped me to dream and push

forward, never letting me look

back but guiding me and helping

me strive to do my best.

She is so dearly missed, though

she rezides in eternity with

the father, her legacy will live...

My family met Sylvia approximately 3 years ago through our son Scott and her granddaughter Amber. We all instantly loved her and enjoyed spending time with her. Sylvia had a special warmth that exuded through her smile and her bright, expressive eyes. I never thought that she wouldn't be with us for many years to come to celebrate at family gatherings and to just "hang out" once in a while. We think about Sylvia everyday and know that she is thinking about all of us, too.
With love...

My condolences to Mike, Sherri, and Shayne and all the grandchildren. I'll remember our chats at Camille's. Always a joy when are paths crossed! I can still hear that Texas drawl in my head. Peace be with you.

I will miss my childhood friend and her wonderful sense if humor. I love you, Sylvia.

P.s. I never did get to teach you how to copy and paste on the computer....haha but i hope you forgive me for that!! Love you and miss you more than i can EVER express. <3333333 And im sure no one else will get this (besides Steph) but there wont be any more "picking our seats in public"!! haha xoxo

Love you Always and forever*
-Amber

My mother, my brothers and I spent countless hours with Sylvia and her wonderful children (all of whom babysat me, Dan, and David more times than I can count) .. she was an anchor for us in times of trouble, was a motivational force when we needed a push, and always found a way to make us feel special.

We loved her with all our hearts...looking at the pictures at the memorial service was wonderful...from pictures of her proudly holding her grandchildren, to pictures from her youth...
