I met Sylvia in the Spring of this year yet it I felt as if we’d known each other forever. She was such a cheerful and upbeat person. I will miss her companionship and our conversations about shopping and reminiscing about “the good old days” as well as visiting with her lovely family. I will see you in Heaven my friend.
