I am Sylvia’s “Best Friend” from the Christian Health Center. I was very sad to learn of Sylvia’s passing. I have known her 9 months and have grown to love her and her beautiful smile. I will miss her very much.
May God’s comfort surround you during this time of loss.

Posted at 16:39h, 31 DecemberI got to talk to Sylvia a few weeks ago when she was in physical therapy with my aunt Kathleen Eaton. I was so glad we met that day. I use to go to some of the churches she went to, she lived in the Chapel House with my grandmother Maxine Sutton and aunt Kathleen and the Christian health center she was at. She was a nice person who will be missed and she is in a much better place where there is no sickness.
