Sis,I remember when we had met at Mario's the band Atrapado had came down.(5/9/09) Who would have know you'd be taken so soon. I can see you were admired by the look of your guest book. And I can still see you dancing... ABOVE !!!

To all of sylvia's family--my deepest sympathy go out to you. Sylvia and I went to high school together. I was a shy girl at that time and sylvia brought me out of my shyness. She made me feel good about myself by telling me encouraging words and she always told me to believe in myself. She was always making me laugh. She was awsome,kind,thoughtful,caring and a true friend. She nicknamed me "hound" ha,ha. I will miss you Sylvia. Thank you for being my friend while you were here and thank you for all your kind words. My prayers are with you and your family.

The lord needed you more in heaven,than here on earth. The many tears I've cried are hard to bare. You are in a better place no pain,no sorrow,no more suffering. I remember your smiling face and the laughs we shared. Though one day we shall meet again.You've gone to join our dad and your husband. The light will keep burning just as it's been deep in my heart.

I knew Sylvia, for a very long time and shall always remember her. She was the most kind hearted friend that I ever knew. In fact, I shall always be thankful to God for the loving friend that he blessed me with. I shall never again see a more happy person than Sylvia. I feel that your loss is a loss to all the people who knew her. I will remember those fishing trips and clubbing in Corpus as a blessing from God to remember my friend.

I'm shocked and saddened by the loss of my dear friend from high school, Sylvia. Please accept my deepest sympathy to the family.
Sylvia will be greatly missed. I will cherish fond memories of us
laughing and joking around, and I will never forget our nickname
that we called each other, and just the great friendship we had.
May you Rest In Peace my friend.
