I cried looking through all the beautiful pictures. My sweet, kind hearted, always smiling and humble cousin was a true blessing to all. I never heard an unkind word from Sylvia, never heard her raise her voice, never saw her angry. She had a smile that could light up a room and a heart that was so big and full of love. You deserve your rest now and the happiness only our Father in Heaven can give. I love you my sweet cousin with all my heart. I'll see you again on the other side. Love and blessings, Mandy

The first thing I think about when I think of mrs Sylvia is her wonderful laugh and smile. She always had a way to make me laugh and smile as well. She just had a genuine goodness and kindness that overflowed from the depths of her soul that made anyone who knew her fall in love with her. I consider myself lucky to have know such an amazing woman who will truly be missed but never forgotten. She has touched the lives of more people than she would ever know.
