My family and I want to express our sympathy with all of Sylvia's family. She was such a sweet person. My mother and I enjoyed visiting with Mrs. Ball and Sylvia when they lived in Carolina Heights. I also enjoyed talking with Sylvia in Morehead Nursing Center before my mother passed away. Mother loved the Ball girls and shared several stories with us about them. May God bless each of you.
