Nino Negro and Nina Ninfa, I am so sorry for your loss. My cousin Sylvia was so loving and loyal to you both. Patsy and Jr., I know you still grieve and my heart goes out to you. Nenita, Allyson, Carlos and all the rest, Sylvia loved all of you so much. And Ben, Sylvia loved you very much too. No one could ask for a more loving, loyal and supportive daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and cousin than Sylvia. Growing up next door with Pasty and Sylvia I always considered them more than just cousins. I considered them sisters and friends. Sylvia made me laugh a lot especially when we made fun of each other, sometimes using our usual "not so bad" language. I'll always remember the escapades with fondness and laughter. The San Diego trip disaster, the sawing off of the cast on my leg, and Che-Yenne Au-Tumn just to name a few...I was glad to spent some time with Sylvia during our recent Class Reunion meetings, get-togethers, and Party. Sylvia, your passing is a loss for me also. I will remember you with love...Neno.

There comes a time for all of us when we must say good-bye. But Faith, Hope and Love can never die. We trust in God's eternal care, so when the Master calls we say life is still more fair although the curtain falls. Grant them peace: let light perpetual shine upon them.
