    I had the pleasure of sitting behind Sylvia at church for many many years. I got to listen to her sing with the voice of an angel and she got to hear my tone deaf voice to which she would look over her shoulder and laugh. At least it's a joyful noise.. she would say.I will miss her quick wit and sense of humor so much.. My deepest sympathy to family and loved ones.

    Sympathies on hearing of Cousin Sylvia Gyure Sakach passing. I haven't seen her for quite some time but we sent holiday cards until recent years. I remember playing with her, Kenny & Cheryl in the Richeyville homestead. Great Memories, Mary Lou Gyure Makiel
