This lady was an inspiration in my life. She was a strong force
and loving person. She was like a mother to me. I will miss her
more than words can say. Go walk the streets of gold with the
rest of the family and one day I will see you again. Love you.
Rest In Peace dear sweet Aunt Sylvia

Thelma Hill & Patti Durrett Cable
We are so sorry for your loss. She was such a kind, caring
lady. She was especially good to visit Doris Durrett (our sister
& mother) when she was alive. It brightened her day. We
always enjoyed her visits. She was such a wonderful woman.
She will be greatly missed. Heartfelt prayers from us to the
family.
