So very sorry about your mother and grandmother's passing. It was always great when your parents and my parents got together - they enjoyed each other so much and had such good times.. I'd like to think they're together now.
May her memory be a blessing.

I loved and admired my Aunt Sylvia so much. She was the kindest and most dignified woman I ever knew. She always made sure the family got together to keep the family bond, and she loved me so much! She treated everyone with such respect and love and she radiated beauty and wisdom. I haven't seen her in a long time due to my distant location but I've never forgotten her and I never will forget her. I'm glad she had such a loving family to keep her warm. My husband, John, met her in Boston a few times and loved her and was amazed at how smart and wise she was too!! Love...Karen

My dearest Aunt Sylvia was the kindest, most loving woman I ever met.
She always treated me with such dignity and respect and admired everything I did.
She got excited when I got a new job or found a new house.
She always gave me incredible gifts on my birthday. I loved her so deeply from the bottom of my heart. She will be missed so very much.
I love you Auntie Syl!!!!
Love,
Meryl
