The Savannah sun was out and the day was a deliciously cool fall day-- appropriate for a day on which we remembered the smile, grace and fun loving character of Sylvia Dane. She was blessed to have such an attentive, caring family and the outpouring of love from such a diverse group of people is a testament to how much she impacted the lives of others and how much she will be missed.
