    To Sylvia’s family, Our deepest condolences to you as you say an earthly farewell to your Beloved Sylvia. Even though it has been years since we have seen each other, I remember Sylvia as a dear gentle friend, wether going to school, church or berry picking we had fun. Although the years of circumstance and distance have kept us apart I will never forget our friendship. May the God she served bring you comfort in knowing that you will meet again. God bless you. Jean (Higdon) and Bryce Rowsell
