Sorry to hear that Sylvia has passed away. I'm sure she is happy to be free of her earthy challenges and was embraced by your parents and others on the other side. Lori, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
So sorry for your loss. Sylvia was a beautiful women and friendly to everyone. She will be missed. Love to Lacy and Lori.
I am totally heartbroken that you are not here with us. I know you are in heaven with your mom and brother. We will meet again through God’s graces. Sending love and prayers.
Lori, I am sorry to hear of Silvia's passing. May you find peace and comfort during this time of mourning. I still remember her booking my 'honeymoon' flight. I flew to Galveston and my fiance/husband 'road the bus'. (He doesn't fly!) We laughed about that!
Deepest condolences to you and family, Lori. Sylvia was a very precious and special lady. Prayers going out to all.
Great loss! I've known Sylvia for years as we have worked together in the travel industry. The only positive thought is - Sylvia is no longer in pain! I will miss her.
