Dear Debbie and Kim:

I am so sorry about your Mom.  She was a wonderful lady and I enjoyed working with her and laughing with her.

Barbara McGinnis

To the family of Sylvia, we extend our condolences to each of you.  Sylvia came into our lives as a sitter for my mother-in-law at a time when we needed her the most.  They sure enjoyed each other’s company, and we will be forever grateful for the support she provided.  May God provide you peace.

What a great loss to the world.  Sylvia was a guardian angel to so many people.   Her kindness and big heart was who she was.  Sylvia came into our lives when she started sitting and looking after my mother when she started to need some assistance.  My sister and I considered Sylvia part of our family.  She was amazing in looking after the needs of our mother and becoming a dear friend to her.  Even when my mother had to leave her home for assisted living, Sylvia continued to visit and be there for my mother until she died in 2014.  I am eternally grateful to her and feel fortunate to have gotten to know and love Sylvia.  She has touched my heart and I will miss our phone calls.   My heart is heavy today, and I know yours is too.  Laura Gehron-Davis.  

Dear Kim and family, I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother. I hope your best memories of her will help everyone who loved her through this difficult time. Prayers for God's comfort for all of you.

So sorry for the loss of Sylvia. Worked with her for 35 years and enjoyed it. May God give comfort to the family during this time.

Mom this will always be a life time memory. That you were here with us and walked your grandaughter down the aisle on Jacki and Evelyn  Nelson special day. My heart will forever be broken. You were always there for all our family. I miss you so so much. Thank you for all my friends that have reached out to comfort us. Pray with us. Be there in our days of darkness & sadness Mom may your spirit ,heart, & smiles be with our family always. I Love You Mom with every beat of my heart.          Debbie Porras

My Grandmommy was truly one of a kind! I love her so much. And as we are going through tough times without her we can hold to memories like these to find joy. Please continue to pray, and lift us up with love.  Thank you for all the people that have reached out to us, checked on us, and been loving on our family.  We can not tell you how much we appreciate it.
             Sincerely, Jacki Nelson-granddaughter
