She was a treasure and many people will miss her! With Deepest Sympathy to you and yours!

I can still picture Sylvia in the entry doorway in Seneca, telling me “they can’t come out to play until they finish their chores, homework…” and sometimes she would tease me, then flash her beautiful smile and laugh. Sending you my sympathy and hugs.
I have many memories of Sylvia and had such fun going to the Bryant home to spend who knows how many hours playing with all the kids. My deepest sympathy and love to all the Bryant family.
