My prayers and thoughts are with everybody. I'm so thankful to GOD that we all got to share smiles and stories with her over the last few weeks. May GOD bless you all in the days to come. Sybil told me that for everyday the Lord let her live she would be blessed with family and friends and when it was her time to go she would be with Jesus that there was no way she could lose. Kenny hold on to the good times in your heart and look to the days ahead that you build new memories with your loving wife and children. I know you will miss your mom greatly. To all her sisters my thoughts are with each of you during this time. To my loving son Tyler we will miss grandma but know she is in a better place and I know she was so proud that you were her grandson.
