Reverend David R. Green says
Our life on this side gives testimony of who we were. Brother Sylvester was always supportive during the time Melvina, was helping be a caregiver for my mother during her lasts months before her passing in 2003. He and Melvina provided a home that made you feel comfortable and welcome whenever I did visit. Even in these last years that I have gone through health challenges, Sylvester and Melvina have been true friends. He was a true man of integrity. He was someone you could trust, and I always felt comfortable in his presence. The last gift my mother gave me was made by Sylvester in his woodworking craft. The Word of God, says to be absent from the body, allows the opportunity to be with Lord. Cherish his rich legacy. I uplift to God in prayer, He will give you all you need!
Debra Woods-Cornelius says
