    Sylvia/family/friends,
    I never liked going to the dentist until a couple of years ago. That’s when I found Byram Dental Group. Sylvia was always helpful, kind, and patient every time I came in. She had a beautiful soul. She did her job well! I didn’t know her personally, but I’ve heard the most wonderful things about her. You are definitely missed! Hugs and prayers for those affected by this loss.♥️

    My prayers go out to your family. You were so loved by your Daddy and sisters. My heart aches for their pain of losing you. RIP knowing that your fur babies are well taken care of because I know you loved them so much. I only met you a couple of times, but I was so impressed by your beauty and kindness and love for animals. I know you are one of God's beautiful angels.
