To the Silva Family!! We lived on your Mother & Father's Block Year's ago in 1970 on Greenbay Avenue. The (Bond) Family, Eilene, George, Bill, Jeannie & Janette (Twins) send our Sympathy & Prayers to your Family. I personally remember (Jeannie) viewing her lovely paintings. I used to sell Avon to her. I was so young, many adults would just not answer their door. Rose, always greeted me with kindness, and opened her door along with her heart as she smiled at me. Sending our Deepest Prayers to your Family. Such a fine Lady will truly be missed. The Bond Family

Stella and family, I will never forget your Mother and Father. They were such an important part of my teens and after all these years, I still love them and will always cherish my memories of them. You have a wonderful, God loving family and you should be so proud. I will always remember "Ursula and Ray". Remember how they would laugh when we called them that. My prayers and love go out to all of you.

Very sorry to read of your mother's passing. We were neighbors for many years in North Hammond. We kept in touch. Saw her at your father's wake.
We have very fond memories of your parents.

I have never met such a wonderful family as Ursula's!! So dedicated and loving. How could you not love all of them. Ursula was my girl, my little peanut and I was her baby. I couldn't kiss her enough when I would see her come past my desk. She will be greatly missed but always in my heart. God be with all of you and give you the strength to get through this huge loss. I will miss seeing all of you. I love you all.
Lots of Love, Pam at Hartsfield Village
