    To my beloved big sister,Sylvia, you are, have been, and will forever be my Angel.
    I will miss our calls, and talks, but I know you are always with me, all I have to do is close my eyes and whisper your name and you are there.
    God blessed me with such a wonderful big sister.
    Say hi to Mom and Kay and Denny for me.
    I love you always.

    Thank you for your kindness and generosity throughout the years. I remember fondly so many Saturday nights spent at your home in Norfolk, VA in the early 1980's - you always welcomed me as an additional daughter when I wanted to "hang out" with Sonya. May you Rest in Peace among the angels.
