We will really miss Sylvia. She was a good TOPS leader and prayer partner. She was a good friend for prayer and conversation.

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the life You gave to our dear Sylvia. What great comfort to know that she had placed her trust in the shed blood of our Risen Saviour for the forgiveness of her sin, and that, by having done so, she's in Thy glorious presence! We're grateful for the many ways You've used Sylvia to be a blessing to all of us who've known her. Please comfort us, especially the hearts of her grieving husband & their whole heritage of children & grandchildren. There is inner joy for each of us who have faith in Christ to know we'll be reunited someday... for the ultimate joy on earth is to receive Your gift of eternal life through Jesus our Lord, in Whose name I pray, Amen.
