I am  late sending y condolences to Sylvia's family   I just found this out.


I always liked Sylvia so much.  Can see her so vividly.  She was always such a nice and pleasant girl.  I am so sorry for your loss of your dear Sylvia.  God bless to you all  Patti Mann Schuman

I remember teaching in the first grade classroom next to Sylvia for several years. She was such a great resource since I was brand new. She always spoke highly of her two daughters and kept me updated on what was happening in their lives. She loved to go on the weekends to have her mom make her a sandwich. Her family meant so much to her and she treated her friends as her family also. She was such a sweet friend. She was so thoughtful and bought me a beautiful and soft knitted sunflower blanket as a present one year. It has always been one of my favorites. One of my daughters just moved to college and is using this blanket on her dorm room bed.  She loves it also. Anyone who knew Sylvia was blessed to have known her.   :)

Praying for extra Peace And Comfort for you girls and your families. Her love, smile, laughs and sweet advise will always be in your heart.  She loved with her whole heart and and lived her life to the fullest. Very kind and caring woman. No Cancer or Health Issues in Heaven! She is free enjoying Eternal Life. 

Sylvia and I spent a lot of time together in Jr High and High School.  And she was in my wedding 54 years ago.  I am sure she was a great teacher and that her students will always remember her.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family in this time of great sorrow.    Connie Williams Bieszczat

So many wonderful, fun memories  as our parents visited one another at each of  our homes 1950s and 60s as I was growing up. Our Mothers were best friends thru their school years here. Sylvia was always so sweet and always smiling and a joy to be with.  My fond memories and prayers are with all of you. Diana Holland

SYLVIA-  A gracious lady, a kind heart, a temple of  kindness..  Brought together by circumstances. Stayed friends by choice.   

Sylvie was always caring and loving and a true friend. She sent cards to SO many people. Through all her chemo treatments,  she never complained and always had a positive outlook. I will miss her daily texts and reminding me when the Royals and Jayhawks would be playing. I will miss my very thoughtful and sweet friend.

I remember Sylvia as a very sweet, bright and super gifted young lady. She always knew the answers to seemingly everything and enjoyed family, school and her friends, I remember hanging out with Sylvia along with Connie Williams for a few years in Jr High and High School.
  I am so sorry for the loss her death has caused and prayers go out to her family and all who loved her,.

I'm sure all of Sylvia's friends would attest to everything I am going to share.  She had such a way of remembering us all at every special day.  Many of the cards she sent were of her own making and always expressed the great love she held for all her friends.  I'm sure nobody who knew Sylvia hadn't heard of Caroline and Johnny.  They were so special to her and she delighted in all of their accomplishments, but most of all she cherished the love they shared with her.    Family and friends meant the world to Sylvia and she to them.  We will miss her love and caring way.

I loved your Mom.  I couldn't have had a sweeter, better neighbor kitty-corner behind me in our little area of Merriam, Kansas.  We shared so many delightful memories together as we raised our families.  We  served in PTA, watched our girls cheer and graduate from SMN and shared so many conversations about life.  I loved the cards she would send to me.  I had no idea she was ill and am shocked to lose her.  Her girls and grand children were the light of her life.  I hope that you all know that you are in my thoughts an prayers and that I love you.
