We are very sorry to hear of this news. Prayers and blessing to the family.
Dear Uncle Gene and Schubert cousins, Aunt Sylvia was a remarkable woman who brought energy and an infectious laugh to every family event. Her love for others was only surpassed by her love of the Lord. Aunt Sylvia lived out her faith every day. In doing so, she blessed her family, friends, neighbors and faith community. We were so lucky to call her family. Love to all of you.
Deacon Gene and Family, our deepest sympathies on your great loss. Syl was a very giving person and left us the beautiful ministry of making prayer shawls. She will be remembered as a faithful example for us to follow. We will miss her.
Ron and I share in your sorrow in Syl’s passing. Syl shared many memorable times with us and Ron especially enjoyed working on the rosary beads with her. We are better for having known her. May God’s loving arms hold her.
To Uncle Gene and the Schubert Cousins, Aunt Sylvia will always be remembered as an exceptional member of the Rojc Family. She was such a vibrant, caring and loving person and she really touched all of us with her commitment to her faith, her family and her friends. When she entered a room, her smile and joy would light up the room and everyone knew that she was tremendously gifted in expressing her love. When she visited my Dad in the last weeks of his life and presented him with a beautiful and warm prayer shawl, that shawl was so symbolic of Aunt Sylvia's heart and soul. May God now wrap Aunt Sylvia in the biggest and warmest shawl in Heaven and may He keep her in everlasting peace . May each of you find comfort, strength and peace in coming days, months and years knowing that her loving spirit will always be with you.
I will always remember her smile
