The world is missing a great euchre player now. The last time we played, Sylvia and Rollie beat Marv and I with ease.
Sylvia was also a great godmother to me. I got birthday cards every year from her.
My sympathy to the family.

Sylvia was a wonderful friend and family member. She was always ready to lend a hand
when you needed one, and was always ready with a smile and a hug when were you
sad or lonely. She was a great euchre player and it was great to have on your "side".
She will be greatly missed at family gatherings with us, but now she is surely celebrating
her homecoming in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's loving arms.

We will always remember the good times we had together with Sylvia and Marv. Many card games and good meals. Also a great camping trip to Gulf Shores, AL and trips to their camper at The Dells. We are sorry that we will miss the funeral as we are in Memphis visiting Harley's sister and will not be back until Wednesday. Our thoughts are with all of the family.

Our grandma is in a better place, and in that we find hope and comfort. Your love for your family (and passion for euchre) will not be forgotten. Love you now and always, Grandma.
