To the family of Beverly DeSilva: she was a beautiful spirit who knew God, she was always praying God's name. She came to many of the programs I did at Schuyler Ridge. I enjoyed her persona, she will be missed. God bless her soul. My heart goes out to her daughter and all the family. With shalom-peace, Rabbi Monte Sugarman (Chaplain Schuyler Ridge)
