Although it has been many years since we last had the opportunity to have a personal visit with Sliv, we have so many fond memories of her. Ed, you had an Angel then and you have an Angel now.
So sorry we could not attend any services as we are in Florida for the Winter.

I light this candle for my friend, who in this world was a beacon of light to all who knew her. She was so proud of her daughter, grand kids, and great grand kids. She told me "I've had a good run kid! I've had a great life!" I loved her as all who ever knew her. Goodbye, for now Sylvia, I will see you on the other side someday. Thank you for all the long talks, the laughs, and the encouragement. I cherish every memory!!
