I knew Sylvia at Immanuel Presbyterian Church and she was such a delightful person to be with. She was such an upbeat enthusiastic woman who will be dearly missed. i can't help but smile sadly when I think of her. She was so kind to me and shared so much of her own happiness with others and me. I loved her very much.
