To the Wood/Bowen Family.
So sorry for your loss. I will always remember Sylvia for her smile. She was always carrying on.
The last time I saw her we where at the movie “A Man Called Otto” She was with her sisters.
We all laughed about how slow we all where getting up & getting going. She still looked the same
as always. May she rest in peace and may her family find peace. God Bless

Sylvia was a friendly, kind, loving and witty person with a beautiful friendly smile. I haven’t seen here for years but I have no doubt she was still that way. I pray for strength and peace for her family and are comforted by knowing she is in the presence of her Lord and family members. May her memory be a lasting blessing for you.
