What a blessing that we had the privilage to have Aunt Syl in our lives. She was a very special person and will be missed by all. What a reunion she had with James, the rest of her loved ones, and friends that loved her so much. 
Darlene and George West

Thank you for loving us and taking such great care of us growing up. You always made me laugh, smile and appreciate life. You will forever be in my heart.

I'm so sorry to hear about Sylv's passing.  I have very fond memories of Sylv and Old James.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sylv and Old James were so much a part of my life growing up, I have so many fond memories of time spent with them.  Going up to the country with them and so many nights around the kitchen table watching them playing poker with mom and dad.  Sylv was like a second mother to me.  But now she is up in heaven with Old James, Beanie, Willard, and the rest that have gone before her.  I wonder if there will be a poker game tonight!.  Love always.

Auntie, You asked me the other day why Old James had not come to get you yet.  We talked about how you married him but would not come to America until you had a House and Bomb Shelter and I said maybe he had not completed that home in the sky.  Well you are with him now you have waited a long time for this reunion.  Auntie we could not have been blessed with a better Auntie.  I hope through the years we have expressed our thanks and love to you and old James for being who you were.  Kind, loving, caring and always there.  You will be missed.  LOVE YOU ALWAYS  Karen (Monkey)

Mama Sylvia...We love you very much. Your sweetness and kindness will always be remembered. You will be in our hearts FOREVER.   Don and Judy

We are so sad she is gone, but Ol' James gets his bride back and they will be together in eternity.
We love you Aunt Sylv!
Cindi, Kristi, Kyle, Dusti and Rylee
