Message: I check Evans site intermittently and saw Sylvia's obit.  My memory of her is working with my mom, visiting the farm rural Sheyenne.  I can remember leaving grandpa and grandma Christians during a snow storm, looking out the window to see Sylvia walking down the highway.  We picked her up and she and mom laughed and laughed about work "news".  I can hear them laughing and dad saying "shoulda left you on the road!" Also spending time with Brenda while they visited... Deepest sympathies, she is a very happy memory!
