Bobby,



I have not known you and Sylvia for very long, but to see you with her at the Sandston Moose Lodge warmed my heart. I will miss her sitting there with you. My thoughts and prayers go with you at this time.

Bobby and family, my deepest and sincere sympathy goes out to you and the family(s). May GOD wrap HIS mighty arms around you and give you strength and courage to get through this very sad time. Sylvia was a good friend, as well as yourself, and a wonderful and courageous wife, mother and grandmother. She is now at peace and in a wonderful place. My Dad's favorite verse in the bible was "in my house, there are many mansions and I go to prepare a place for you". Sylvia is now in one of those mansions looking down on us. You have been a wonderful husband caring for her every needs and wishes. May God Bless you and your family.



Love,
