She was quite the writer. Wouldn’t it been fun to meet her in person?

Yes she did live such a short life but left a long legacy.

What an interesting thought. I imagine she could have been a blogger or someone on You tube. Love this perspective.

It makes you wonder what she would be writing today in this time of blogging – a format that hadn’t been invented then. What encouragement she received in her short life to step into her gift so very early!

Sylvia captured beautifully the contrasts we experience on our road of faith–sometimes through desert or over mountains, often beside still waters, as we put our trust in God. The hymn you included, “You, Lord, Are Both Lamb and Shepherd,” we used to sing occasionally in the churches my husband pastored. Such an expressive tune, and her lyrics, poignant. Thank you so much for sharing Sylvia’s story, Jean!

Such a shame for one to die so young, but she is an inspiration to all of us to live each day fully for God’s glory.
