Mannnnn grandma, where do I start... Ever since I first met you, we locked in and you always supported me no matter what I did. I'm grateful God bless me with you here able to see my transformation. I am very grateful. I love you so much and I do my best to stick next to Darryl Remind him you're at peace now and in a better place, but you know that will never stop the pain of you not being here. I remember when I was a teenager still trying to find my way and I popped up at the house and you told me ,"please stop what you're doing. I had a dream you was running in a dark place and nobody could help you, at the moment, I didn't take it too serious I just insured you that I was going to be OK. I don't think it was a week later that I was running in a dark place and nobody could help me ever since then I promise myself to pay attention to the warning and pay attention to the messengers. God sent me thank you for your strong guidance and thank you for accepting me, and knowing I would change, I love you, grandma forever and always 4LYFERS🀞🏾❀️

Blessings and deepest of sympathies to our family. My aunt Sylvia was a second mother to me. Simply put she was love in action. Thanks Yvonne, Jimmy and Dave for sharing her with us. Aunt Lou, I know that your faith in the God we serve will sustain you. My fear cousins, I will miss her constant encouragement and our prayer time together. What wonderful memories I can share of those times. It always brought so much joy and warmth to her that she gelt compelled to share it with others. Yes Auntie, you are loved and indeed you loved without condition. As the son that you did not birth, you always showed me that profound appreciation in ways that I could never be accurate in trying to count. Rest my dear aunt. You work on this side has ended. Bow your head now and receive your crown. I deed you fulfilled your purpose and satisfied the father to call you home from your labor. Remain blessed family.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences Yvonne & Family. I treasure the memories with your Mom she was my Mother's friend from grade school; they shared a life long friendship. May the Lord grant you peace that surpasses all understanding during this difficult time. Sylvia you're a sweet soul thanks for comforting me in my time of greatest need. RIP Dear β€οΈπŸ•ŠοΈπŸ•ŠοΈ

Sylvia embodied the qualities of the virtuous woman described in Proverbs 31 and "she is more precious than rubies".
