Dear Joe, Laurie, Toni , and all your family and loved ones,
I am so sorry to hear of Sylvia's passing. The last time I saw Sylvia, we had run into each other at Walmart. We hugged and laughed and cried for Mr.Joe, and remembered all the good times we'd had years ago. We talked for a while and then we hugged-- Good-Bye-- and said almost at the same time, "I love You" !! I wish now, we'd have hugged just a little longer. May God Be With You All.
With all my love...

Sylvia was my husband's (David Connor)favorite Aunt. He loved her very much and always told stories about her. She was a beautiful person inside and out and will be missed. Condolences to the family.
