Sylvia was a dear friend to me, we laughed and cried but most of all we prayed over so many things. I am so very sorry for loss, but I know she is with Ralph and her son and my husband and many of her family members that have gone on before her. We shared many meals together, Eric I will be praying for you and your family. I am truly sorry for your loss. Ms.Teri Hamann
