To Scott,Dave,Kelly,Paul and the entire Silloway family.
It has been 25+ years since the last time we all saw each other. When I heard of your fathers passing the time came rushing back like it was yesterday. Our fathers were close friends back in the day and had a mutual respect for each other. You guys were some of our best friends that we looked foward to seeing every weekend traveling accross the counrty following the national bmx race circut. Losing a parent is never easy. My dad passed away 2 years ago and everyday is still a struggle knowing his laugh,smile,and company are gone until we meet again.But know one thing......the great memories you have of your dad can never be taken away from you. Keep him close to your heart and he will only be a thought away. You guys will be in our prayers during this difficult time.
Mark Lopez & Family.

Dad,
You were an inspiration to a lot of people, especially us kids and most recently the little ones. You always emphasized education, family, determination, respect, generosity and because of that we are strong. You never set a limit as to what I could do and what was possible. Here are a couple promises: I will keep my head down and continue to push forward. I will also keep my family (everyone) close to my heart . . . just as you did. I love you and will miss you so much. I'm happy that we had one last good summer together.
Love,
Kelly

To Mary, Scott, and everyone in the Silloway and Monroe families:
Our sincerest sympathies are with you at this difficult time.
The staff of Edward H. Pope Ltd.
PS: We hope the following will be of some comfort to you as it has been to us.
--------------------
Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name; speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me; pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word it always was. Let it be spoken without effect; without trace of shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well.

I'm so very sorry of the passing of your Dad. It made me look back and I figured I've known your family for over 30 years and spent a lot of time over your house. Man could he yell loud. I have many fond memories of Mr. Silloway.
I just saw him a few weeks ago at Pineview Resturant with my daughter. God Bless him and your family.
