Your sister in Christ

I have bright memories of Sylvia being a strong woman of Christ. She was one of my dearest, closest mentors and I will miss her IMMENSLY
My heart and my prayers go out to her family.

I´m sad about Aunt Sylvia´s passing. She was gentle, kind, but strong. I appreciated how she and Gene supported my parents as my dad navigated his illness. It was fun watching Sylvia and my mom develop as sister in laws and friends. They played a mean game of cribbage! My thoughts and prayers are with David, Susan, and the kids. Both of your parents will be missed.

Our family mourns the death of Sylvia which reminds us of Gene's passing a little over a year ago. Sylvia was comforted by the belief that they will be reunited.
Sylvia and I met every week for lunch, cribbage and shared family stories. I loved Sylvia and will always remember the fun we had together.

Our condolences to David, Susan and Family.
