Hello to the family of Sylvia. We were friends in high school, worked together at green giant in Le Sueur, and she was in my wedding in 1964. We reconnected a few years ago and met in Northfield for the day and I’ve seen her once or twice at Reunion since then. So sorry to hear of her passing but she is with her God now
