I was Sylvia's "across the street neighbor." My wife Melinda and I loved to share time and gossip with Sylvia. She was sweet, sassy and smart. We will miss her but will carry her in our hearts as a cherished memory of a wonderful person we were blessed to have known.

I am very fortunate to have had a friend like Sylvia for 45 years. Our journey of friendship has taken us on memorable trips and cruises.  Sylvia was a role model for women in the Insurance Industry and previously served as President of the Insurance Professionals of Northeast Florida.  
It was an honor to be with Sylvia during her final journey here on earth.  She faced her health issues with acceptance and courage and once again served as a role model for all who suffer.  
As a member of her "Fuzzie" group, I will miss her deeply.  We had many great times together and shared a true bond of love and trust.

Our "Fuzzy Wuzzy" group (all formerly in the insurance industry), traveled frequently over the years and enjoyed many great times!  Yes, as her granddaughter stated, she loved her shoes and she had a lot of them!  (which we always teased her about).  I visited with Sylvia many times in the past few weeks while in the hospital and talked with her while praying to our good Lord to look after a good woman and not let her suffer any longer!
I will certainly miss her.

My nana was an incredible woman! Very strong and independent sassy and adventurous! She loved to travel and her favorite hobby was shoe shopping and needle work!  She always had such a great personality and would do anything and everything she could for you! I’m gonna miss her so very much! I’m gonna miss our talks and miss my constant recipe requests even if she sent it to me once or twice before. So many great times with her! I don’t have just one special memory I have many! I will cherish all of our moments together. I love you nana! Until we meet again!
