Sometimes God reaches out to the best -- especially those that give everything to help those around them. Sylvia is one of these special people. Sylvia gave extra love and constant comfort to Ken, Kim, and Kaydence. Her death is shocking and so painful for her friends. I identify with her because I saw her welcoming smile and obvious caring personality, but we also had both lost one of our children, That pain binds forever. May God help her family and provide support during this terrible time.

Sylvia was such a good friend to me during our years together at Central. She was a true friend who was there with a kind word and always had time to listen when I needed a friend. She had such a gentle way and it showed in the way she related to the chikdren. We loved to share stories about our children and grandchildren. My heart hurts to learn of her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Ken,Kim and Cadence.

Remember her presence at the preschool.In sharing conversations with her we realized our birthdays were both October 26-enjoyed many conversations with her as we also realized we were both teacher assistants only at different schools.

Dear Ken and Kim,
I was so shocked to learn of Sylvia's passing on to her eternal Heavenly home. She was a wonderful friend and co-worker at Central. Her love for that job showed through her daily smile and attitude. She had a special touch with each and every student and co-worker that she came in contact with. We went on many shopping sprees together and I LOVED our time spent together on those outings. We had loads of fun and shared lots of laughter! She will be missed by ALL those she touched. Heaven has gained a SPECIAL angel and, remember, GOD chooses only the BEST. Please know that YOU are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss. May God embrace you with peace and comfort. Blessings to YOU both.
