Night Minister Emeritus the Rev. Lyle Beckman remembered Sylvia’s ministry on the streets with tenderness: “One night, as we crisscrossed the neighborhoods, I saw Sylvia several times sitting on the sidewalk with people who were also sitting on the sidewalk, so she could meet them eye to eye. That is what I remember most about Sylvia. When she was with someone, she gave all of her attention to them, holding eye contact in a way that was compassionate and caring.”
