To the Lucas Family: As far back as I can remember, wherever you saw Tonya you saw Sylvia. They were my favorite cousins. The last time I saw Sylvia, we talked and laughed and cut up. It is a memory that will last me forever. We love her and will miss her very much. We will all be together again one day. I know this in my heart. Love Always, John and Linda Robbins

Tonya, Larry, and Jodie I was so sorry to hear of Sylvia's passing. She was
truly my best friend when I came to Savannah as a single parent. She had such a wonderful "never give up" attitude that radiated to all those around her. She will be forever in my heart and sorely missed.

Tonya, there are no words to describe the hurt that you are feeling. We are so sorry for your loss. You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
"I like to believe that when we lose someone close to us they still live through us and give us strength. The time we have spent with those we have lost makes them part of us." "The body dies, but the love lives on. Love is everlasting."

Tonya,
I'm not sure what I can say to express my sincere sadness, upon finding out that Sylvia passed away. I know I only worked with the both of you for a short time, but I enjoyed being able to get to know her in that short period of time. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I am deeply sorry for your loss. As someone else said...I know she will be watching over your family.

There are no words to ease the pain you are feeling right now. I wish there were. Sylvia had a joy for life and you couldn't help but feel it anytime you talked to her. She was a dear friend who will be missed. Our prayers are with you all.

Words cannot truly tell the sadness in our hearts with Sylvia' passing.I remember Sylvia as a favorite 'sister' of mine while I was still a part of the Lucas family. The Claborn family will be praying for the family for comfort and support. I know that she will be greatly missed by Larry and Jodie. Sylvia's close relationship with her family will always be there for remembering her and in keeping her close to them.

Tonya and family: I am so sorry for the loss of Sylvia. She was a wonderful and spirited lady and had a zest for life. I have never lost a sister but I lost my baby daughter and it is a loss that can not ever be healed. I know as close as you all were it will be hard on all of you. Please know that my prayers are with you. I am praying that GOD will give you sufficient grace and strength to get thru these difficult days. May GOD bless and comfort you all.
