Dearest Sylvia: You taught me so many things about living life and worshipping the Creator through the Roman Catholic faith. Your honesty and direct manner never seemed to fail at discerning my many faults and shortcomings with sound advice on how to solve the issues. I've added you to my listing of personal saints that assist my prayers. I will be looking for you in Heaven when I get there....
