Donald Young wrote a sympathy message

“It is difficult for us to know what to say. However, on reflection, it is with Thanksgiving that we send along this message. We have many memories of our times together when we were living in GFW next door to Sylvia. We spent a lot of time together and as we, at this time, are waiting for Cathy and family to come...I opened our recipe book and guess what... Sylvia's Recipe. How many times do we do that. Thinking of you all with Love and Thanksgiving . Joan & Son”
