Have known Sibyl and her family for most of my life ,which covers many years, from the forties to the present. She was always kind and giving back to better other people. Always met you with a smile. Very pretty as a young woman,and still pretty as a mature young woman in her older years. Take comfort in knowing she is back with the people she loved. She will be missed and live in the memories of many many people. Jean Adkins

I have many fond memories of Aunt Sybil. All are of a kind and gentle lady that cared for all she came in contact with in her life. God welcomed a new angel into his kingdom. I am sure that there is a glorious reunion with Uncle Herman and all her family today. I want her family to know how truly sorry I am for your loss. She loved you all dearly. Reba S. Robertson

My heart is broken for the family of mrs Sibyl, she was a fine gentle lady, never had anything bad to say about anyone.I had the precious opportunity to sit with her for a while at Bayberry, she was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She shared many storie's of her childhood and life with me and we were constantly laughing over something she would remember from her past. I feel that I am a better person for having known her even for a short while and I will treasure the memorie's THAT I HAVE OF HER FOREVER.See you in heaven Mrs Sibyl, I love you.
