Sylvia was a lovely lady in every way. She and Gene made a wonderful couple, and we wish condolences to each family member.
Sylvia and Gene were such a loving couple to one another and to those around them. We were so priviledged to have known them. Gary Bright introduced us to them and was responsible for inviting them to church. Eventually, they wanted to join the church after Pastor Bill went over to their house and presented the gospel to them and they both prayed and accepted Jesus as their personal savior. Such a joy to know them, so giving of gifts and their love to us and I know they will be missed by many. Praying for the family in this sad time. God's blessings be with you. Maralee
