I teach CNA class at Fred T. Foard High School and got to meet and help care for Ms. Sylvia with my students. We are greatly saddened as we all really enjoyed our time with her and her friends. She was a friendly and happy person who touched all of our lives.

Kathy and Terry, so sorry to hear about your Mom. I have many good memories with your Mom and Dad while living at Hollar's MHP back in 1966 with my first husband, Charles. Your Mom and Dad were both very special people and we had many good times. I will always cherish the memories I have. I will be praying for you and the family in the difficult days ahead. We know our God is in control and will take care of us.

Kathy and Terry, so sorry to hear about your Mom. We go way back as you both well know. Charles and I lived at Hollar's Mobile Home Park when we were first married in 1966; along with Frances and Herman Crockett. You guys were just little kids at the time. We had many good times with both your Mom and Dad and those memories will always be special to me. Please know I will be praying for you and the family in the difficult days you have ahead.
