All of my childhood memories of Sylvia are good. She was a best friend to my Mom so family/friend gatherings were notable for Sylvia´s delicious dishes. Sylvia was attentive and kind to each of us kids. I remember Sylvia´s keen interest in what I was reading, a shared passion through my childhood into my adult years. Sylvia was like another Mom to us kids. Many of us will gratefully remember her love for us. David Jackson

I send my love to Denise, Greg and Angela, as well as to their respective families on the loss of their mother, grandmother, and sister. Sylvia is a precious person and by faith we are assured that she is dearly embraced by our Eternal Father. Sylvia spared no moment to assure each of us that we were dear to her as well. My family is grateful to have been one of her long time friends. We cherish this blessing and our memory of her. Phil Jackson
