I remember childhood days in the back yard where there were many cookouts, and family fun. I was blessed to have my Aunt Sylvia in my life as an adult, and we had a close and loving relationship.
We had many new memories, conversations that touched our hearts, moments that were shared in love, and many pictures to look back on and be reminded of the times spent together. Family is so precious, and it is a gift to have known my aunt in the way I did, and will forever keep her in my heart forever.

Isaiah 26:3 You Will Keep him in Perfect Peace, Whose mind is stayed on You. The Lord is Everlasting Strength.
