Sylvia my friend.
I first met Sylvia when I began worshipping at Knott's Grove Baptist Church,got to know her and loved her and years later when I return for a visit to my childhood church,MT.ZION BAPTIST CHURCH,there was Sylvia with her radiant smile filled with love and a member of my home church. She was just as excited to see me as I was to see her. Sylvia go rest high on the mountain now,you suffer no longer. You will be greatly missed. I love you my friend. Laura Kaye Moore
