I was so sad to read of your loss. I enjoyed visiting with Syble on her front porch on a fairly regular basis during the 14 years I lived across the street from her. She was a great neighbor and so much fun to talk to.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sally Carter spoke so lovingly oh her and although I only met her a few times....what an interesting lady. It's so hard to lose your mother, no matter how long you've had her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I met Ms. Syble 15 yrs ago when I came to First American as a Temp. She took me under her wings and pulled for me 100+%. She was such a dear lady and friend to me and my daughters. We loved her very much, she will be missed but not forgotten and to the family be encouraged and when you think you are alone just know that God is there.

My Mother was Doris McGuire. She spoke so fondly of her dear friend Syble. Mother passed away in June 2010. May our Mothers enjoy their reunion.

I had the privilege of volunteering at the FBC Caring Center alongside of Syble. I was always impressed with her work ethic and her positive attitude. If you asked how she was doing, she was never just "okay", she was always "super great"! She was also very proud of her service in the Navy, and always looked forward to Veterans' Day. I wish she could have made it one more week.

Tommi, Lee and families I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I can't remember a Medlock gathering without wonderful memories of Aunt Sib. You all are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. I wish I could be there with you but know that my heart is there. Love you all.
