Debbie, Dean, Deanna, Dawn and Denise, We are all so sorry for your loss. We were unaware Aunt Sylvia was ill and were shocked to learn of her leaving. She was such a loving person and we will all remember her special smile. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers today and in the days to come.

My dear Debbie,
I have loved your family since we met in 1965 and have many precious and lasting memories of the times we shared. Your Mom has exemplified the love of Christ and taught me about unconditional love and sacrifice through the years...such a strong, wise woman. My heart hurts with yours but the thought of Sylvia makes me smile and I know your countless memories and God's peace will sustain you. Besides, we get to see her again. Her smile and laughter are indelibly etched in...

Debbie and Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss - I know how sad you are to lose your Mom and Maw Maw. Sylvia was such a special gal - a sweet reflection of her Lord. I pray God's peace and comfort will surround and sustain you in the days ahead.

Please accept my deepest sympathies for the loss of your beloved mother. I worked at Noregon with Sylvia for several years and we became friends. I was there when her husband passed eight years ago and she was there when my husband passed five years ago. She was so proud of her daughter and granddaughters. She always looked forward every Christmas season when the girls were small to take them to see The Nutcracker. Please remember she is in a better place where there is no pain or sorrow...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...
