    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

    You will be missed Syl! You and Bud were two of the people who welcomed us to Canton as you drove by our house. Just had to look for the pickup! Thanks for that! Dan and Mary Watson Rath
