Mack so sorry for your lost. I know Sylvia was a wonderful person and that you loved her very much. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you or the family.
Dear Deanna and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember talking with your Mom and Dad on several occasions over the years from college days to your wedding day. She was so kind and caring. My heart and prayers go out to each of you. Love, Cherri.
So sorry to hear about your loss of Sylvia! She was a beautiful and sweet person. She and I grew up in the same neighborhood, Gray Rock Community. Our family and her family shared many sweet times together. Ramona and Mary Alice, pease know had I known of her passing earlier I would have attended her funeral.
Mack, I am so sorry to hear of Sylvia’s passing. She, her sisters and I spent a lot of time together when we were younger. She will be missed by many but she is at peace now.
I am so sorry to have heard that Sylvia had passed away, I am still trying to come to terms with this passing. I met Sylvia through my sister in 1961, parties with Peggy and Mary Alice, sock hops at Wilton. I had a lot of fun, I hope she did. We were so young.
Mack and family, I am so sorry for your loss, God bless you all.
