Dear Sylvis family,

Let me extend the sympathies from the Kulha neighbors to you. We are all remembering Frank and you in our prayers. We hope that your mourning will be tempered somewhat by the remembrances of Frank. To me Mr. Sylvis (as I knew him in Bethel Park) was what a neighbor should be. I've recalled how he and Mike helped each other with various projects. And of course, the amazing "Nights of Croquet" when all the neighbors would gather (most of the time) in the Sylvis back yard. This was one of the reasons our neighborhood was such a great place. All were welcome. And as a father, he had the responsibility of watching out for three daughters! May he now be sharing in that eternal happiness.
