Dear Jerry, Becky, and Tammy:
Just wanting to express to you again how deeply sorry I am for the loss of your husband and father. What a great man Syl was and my Dad really thought the world of him. I am so glad that they became good friends and chatted often. I will always remember his smile and the kindness he showed to me and my family. I pray peace and comfort and strength for the days ahead.
I hope to see you all around the neighborhood.
Kindest Regards,

Syl was one of my favorite people, he always made me laugh. Syl would always ask if I was out of jail as a joke. I am still out of jail Syl and I know you are now in Paradise!
