With much love, sympathy and prayers. We will miss our dear family member and friend. Love,
We don’t have too many memories of my Aunt Sylvia because of the distance that separated us. It always seemed to be financially out of reach for all of us or time didn’t permit. Anyway, we hope the best for Curtis and Daniel and their families. We know these times are difficult. My mom, Eve, has been worrying nonstop since the day she ended up in the hospital. They talked on the phone daily and my mom misses their conversations and the daily check ins to make sure everyone is doing fine. I’m so glad you got to meet my wife Nicci and our daughter Whitney. You were an amazing person and it reflects brightly in the family you leave behind. We love you and I’m so happy you were my aunt.
You are in our thoughts and prayers from your 740 family.
Mother in law,
I will always smile when I remember how you protested me making you scale the steps to the top of Tybee Island Lighthouse. Oh how proud you were when you finally did it! I have two voicemails on my phone of you wishing me a Happy Birthday for 2021 and 2023. I’m so glad I kept them! I played them yesterday to hear your voice and loved hearing you sing “Happy Birthday” and call me “sweetheart” and “honey”. I know how much Daniel and I meant to you, and how you adored Chad, Leah, and your new grandson Phillip. I am so glad you got to see Leah marry Phillip and of course you cried because you always cried over happy moments. Remember when you cried at Leah’s graduation when they were welcoming the graduates? Lol!
I know you are with the Lord, but we wish we had you here with us for a little while longer.
You were a wife, a mom, a grandmother, a sister, and a friend. You will be missed.
I love you too, sweetheart!
Jennifer
