To the Pate family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Sylvia was a great woman. I enjoyed working with her in Wayne Township and spending time with her in the pool at Thatcher. God's blessings to each of you.

Your family is in my prayers - She was my 2nd grade teacher (in 1986 I believe), she was a great teacher and very caring. I remember her giving me a birthday present every year from 2nd grade up until I went onto junior high school (it was a day after hers)...She is one of those special teachers that I will never forget.
