Wayne Franzen wrote a sympathy message

“It was always a joy to be with Sylvia. She and I are related - second cousins, I think. It has been a joy to read of her accomplishments and of her family. I am extremely grateful for the wonderful life she lived and her influence on so many people. Her Christmas cards were almost always late but were filled with well written news and great photos. My sympathy to all who loved her.”
