Dear Ulrickson families
I am so sorry hear the passing of your mother, Sylva. Heaven has gained another angel. May God comfort and grant you peace during this difficult time and days to come. I will miss coming back to Canton to ask Sylva to make more scrubbies for me. Thank goodness, I still have a stock.
God Bless you all
