Message: Sylvia was my Aunt. I saw her on every holiday as a child and youth. She was kind and always told me to pray. At that age, I didn't like it, but I am so glad she prayed for all her nieces and nephews. Now it is my turn to pray for all of mine. She was good to her parents and took care of them until their death. I will miss her. Love you Aunt Sylvia.
Your niece, Bonnie Larson
