Rose was always very kind to me. I have many fond memories of her. She wasn't just my next door neighbor, she was a friend. I will miss her weekly phone calls and the ocasional cup of tea. She will be missed by many.

Dear Rita, Nancy and family,
I was saddened to hear about the death of Mrs. Silva. She was always so kind and caring. I had the pleasure of living next door to her. She taught me how to sew, was a great Girl Scout leader, helped me get the Marian Award and was all in all a wonderful role model. I will miss seeing her sitting on her porch and waving to me. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
