Dear Leona,
It was a joy sharing exercise time with your mom at the JCC. She was a role model for how to enjoy life and to spread kindness and good cheer to all.

Dear Leona, Nancy, and other family members, I am heartbroken to learn today of dear Aunt Sylvia's passing. She welcomed me immediately into your loving family. She always had a smile for me and asked how my family up north was doing. My mother Tee had fun visiting with Aunt Sylvia when both would be in New Orleans. Aunt Sylvia was my role model for how to be a good wife and mother. As I celebrate my Mark's May 4th birthday each year, I will send Aunt Sylvia infinite kisses.
