Fly high sweet Sylvia, I was honoured and privileged to get to know you much better over the years, the world has lost an angel, and Heaven has gained. I have never met a more kind, caring and genuine person. Always saving pennies and giving little gifts to my daughter, who loved the surprises and in return made things and bought Sylvia little gifts too. You made a little girl who was going through such a hard time, so very happy. I really hope you knew how much I appreciated that. Sylvia is loved so very much and I know will be terribly missed by all the family. Thinking of Lorraine and all of the family, sending love, light and strength their way. Back in the arms of David, and Kevin, until we all meet again.
