I’m thinking about Sylvia’s family. I remember the fun I had with the Big Haired Lady. I loved her laugh and her terrific smile. I miss her.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Batten, but I know her son Wayne. He is a beautiful, sweet, caring man whom I consider a good friend. My sincerest condolences to you and your family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Sylvia‘s family at this time of loss. As friends of Wayne we’ had the pleasure of knowing Sylvia. She was a great lady with a great sense of humor she will be missed.
Wayne, I remember all the laughter we shared when you spoke of your Mom. My prayers and condolences go out to you and your family at this very difficult time. Cherish those memories always.
May she Rest in Eternal Peace.
Many happy memories with this special lady. Rest In Peace my sweet friend!
My prayers are with this wonderful family. So many memories come to mind. As teenagers, Sylvia’s dad would load us in his truck and take us to the Gator Bowl to watch the Tigers play football. Her mom took all of us to the beach and Strickland’s in the summer. I remember helping her feed the rabbits and Uncle Frank and Aunt Rosalee took us girls to church on Sunday. So many wonderful memories. I will miss her.
I am so sorry for your loss.She always treated me so goodYou all are in my prayers
