Dearest Sylvia..our "boo-zards"have arrived in the valley behind your house again. It was always a big event for us when they returned each Spring.not exactly swallows in Capistrano, but they were our buzzards. I can not help but think that you have sent us this mild weather..as a sign that you are happy and that we should get on with life, perhaps? Well..we are doing just that, but still you are so terribly missed...God's blessings on you my dear friend...

Dear friend..I am watching our Larry now and thinking of you. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. We all miss you so much. Life does go on, but without you it has lost a lot of it's spark. For such a tiny lady, you certainly cast a giant shadow .
We miss you...I miss you...be at peace my friend..be happy.

Another Saturday without you, dear friend. It is cold and wet, so today you would make your Spanish rice or Slovenian sausage. It is not too bad, so maybe a trip to the Road House instead...
I will never get used to your being gone. I miss you so much, we all mss you so much...not a day goes by that I don't think about you .... I doubt that will ever change.
I pray that you are happy and at peace in the arms of Our Lord and your dear Mike. Rest well sweet friend...you are loved.

My dear sweet friend. How you are missed. Yesterday was a beautiful day, warm and sunny. Eileen and I paid a visit to your resting place, we sat a while and remembered you and knew that you were happily in the arms of your beloved husband Mike.
We miss you so much, and Eileen is having a terrible time getting used to the idea that you are gone. You were truly blessed to have such a good and loyal friend.
Rest well dear friend and know that you are loved and missed.

To Sylvias family, I am so deeply sorry for your loss of this vibrant, spirited, woman. I was lucky to get to know her over the last six years at her dentist's office. Out of the many patients we have, she truly was my favorite. I loved hearing her stories and she will be missed greatly.
