Jean,
I think this is it! Please send a scan of the page, is there a photo of
Pastor Hagen? What is the name of the church and what town what it in? I
could then contact them.

My aunt did say Sylvia had died in childbirth. Her father, Sylvester had
flown in to be there for the arrival of the new baby and was met at the
airport with the terrible news of the death of Sylvia and the baby. How
sad.
