We just learned of Miss Sybil's passing and we're so sorry to hear of this. She will forever be remembered for the love of her family. They meant so much to her. Years ago, she would invite all the ladies, at church, to come to her home for our annual Christmas party. This was always such a delight because she could cook like nobody's business. Like her wallpaper business, if she didn't have time to cook everything, she knew just which family members she could always count on to come through for her. They too, were awesome cooks. May God comfort the family during this difficult time.
