Sylvetta's ever present beautiful smile was like a breath of fresh air. She was a classmate of mine at Parkin High School and can honestly say i never heard an unkind word spoken of her and she was well liked by everyone. My prayers for comfort are with James and all of her family and friends who have certainly lost a dear Lady.
