Chuck, Al, Flo and George,
I have so many wonderful memories of your mom, starting from when we were young basketball players playing in the city leagues and a more recent memory when I spoke with her at home. My parents always mentioned their chance meetings with Mrs. Silva. We all loved her and respected her very much. Thank you for being a part of our family all these years.
God Bless You

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. We will miss you dearly..

As the youngest of five Silver Foxes, I say "thank you" to Mrs. Maxine Silva. That school, that neighborhood, ingrained in me a sense of loyalty and community that will stay with me until my dying day. I know she is starting a Alumni Chapter of Silver Foxes in heaven. Que en Paz descanse, Sra. Silva...
