Larry and Family,
Please know that she's with the Lord. I met her once, but knowing that she took not only a swabbie, but an ole Bono boy as well, and raised him, and be a team with him in life and faith. God bless you all and be with in your time of need.

To the family, our heartfelt sympathy. Being in the Navy with Larry we kept in touch by email/phone and were long time friends. Larry & Sylvia took care of Annie when she was stranded in Hawaii and I was forever grateful. Sylvia was a beautiful person and will be missed. Please know that we will be with you in spirit and will be saying prayers for her family.
