To the family of Sylvia,
My sincere condolences to the family of Sylvia. I grew up as a close friend of Sylvia’s on the Big Coulee Reservation from toddler to adolescence as my father, John Roberson, was her teacher at Big Coulee Day School for many years. I have been trying to locate Sylvia for the past few years and now was finally able to find her – unfortunately through this obituary. I am extremely saddened to learn she has now departed. I hope I can connect with her siblings through my address provided here. Please feel free to contact me as I miss the good times we once all shared on the “Res.” It will not be the same without Sylvia, yet I will always cherish the fond memories we shared in our childhood friendship together.
Blessings,
Louise Roberson-Mitchell

I have been trying to find Sylvia for the past few years and unfortunately have now learned that she has departed us. I am extremely saddened by this news as I was hoping to reunite our friendship. Please feel free to contact me at this e-mail address and I would love to hear from anyone from the Big Coulee Res. I will extremely miss Sylvia, yet will always cherish fond memories growing up as childhood friends. May blessings be upon you and your family.
