Dear Villarreal Family,

May God be with you at this most trying time.

Sylvester was always a kind and loving man. We all felt his love and happiness at the many cookouts at Fina and Cheos. What fun we all had.
Sylvester and Elanora always treated my family with love, respect and Gods grace.

I always admired your love towards your wife. You were a couple that stood the test of time.

I'm sure you and Cheo are watching a Braves Dodgers game. Enjoy



"I am the vine, you are the branches".

May the peace of the Lord be with you all.

Mr. John Barber & Sons
