Cousin Sylvia B. Wilkins's maternal grandparents, Willie & Delia Owes' 8 of 9 children blessed them 29 grandchildren from 1938 to 1952. Sylvia is the 7th first cousin to go home to glory, 22 are still in the land of the living. Lawrence Wyche is the OLDEST will be 81 years old in 2022 and NC Owes II, the YOUNGEST will be 52 years old in 2022. Us cousins received the same messages and consistent love and support from our 5 aunts and 4 uncles. We will forever be linked by their blood and life lessons. Due to the present times, it is difficult for us to touch one another with our hands and hug one another with our arms. Let's hug one another with our prayers, for prayer is the key for the day and the lock for the night. Cousin Sylvia was a beautiful soul with a quiet and calming spirit. Pleasant memories of her will be etched in my heart ❤️ forever. RIP. Willie "WA" Wyche

To Silvia's family, my cousins: "You will lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. And you come through. "The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same nor would you want to." [ Elisabeth Kübler-Ross] Thinking of you and wishing you moments of peace and comfort as you remember Silvia. Although we didn't talk often, when we did our conversations were full of memories and laughter. May the special memories you made together help you through this difficult time. The children of Jessie Mae Owes Stith: Elwood (Cephus); Vera (Denise); and Lillian.
