Sylvia was the love of my life, I cherish ever moment we had, she was the most loving person I ever met in my whole life, we enjoyed every minute spent together, she was strong well minded person that never gave up as she goes out of her way to helping others, she was always the life of every event, her love and passion for dancing was beyond everyone can imagine as she used to move like a butterfly that you never wanna take your eyes of. I missed my love Sylvia Oldham and I’m sorry to see her leaving us behind yet happy for her to be in better place of God’s dwelling resting in grace and peace. She will be missed until we meet again.
Sylvia, we had so many great dance classes together. You were always so much fun to be around. When we went to Tupelo, you showed me a great short cut and shared stories about your family. Dances won’t be the same without you. You kept us all together and always brought treats for all of us. Fly high dear friend. You are loved and missed.
