Mom, it's almost mothers day, and I am going crazy knowing you will not be there. I still have not come to the realization that you are gone. I know you are in a better place feeling no more pain, I am selfish. I want my mom back. I just want to tell you Happy Mothers Day mommy. I love you and hope some day this pain will go away and I will be ok without you. dads ok, we are here in Roseville now. Love your daughter Linda

Mom I still can't believe you are gone. I think you are a brave and couragous woman to have known you were leaving this earth in such a short time. You tried not to show your pain to us, but deep down in my heart I knew it was your time. It hurt me to see you in so much pain. We shared such a special bond me being your only daughter, I am going to miss talking with you everyday about the kids and grandkids and greatgrand kids and the way my day has gone and life for that matter. You were always there for me no matter what. I am so sorry I didn't move to Roseville sooner like you wanted us to. It is so strange that when we decide to move there you become terminally ill. I will never forget you...I will always live you. Until I see you again say hello to my brother Larry. Love your daughter Linda

Uncle Frank, Linda, Leonard, and Tony,

It's still a shock to me that Auntie Sylvia is gone. She was one of the most giving, kindest, loving people one could ever know. She was always there when we needed her and I'm so grateful that I got to visit with her in her final days. She kept her sense of humor right until the end...This world is not the same without her in it and I will miss her dearly.

If there is anything I can do for you during this difficult time, please let me know.

Love,
Crystal

This has hit home big time. Such a energetic, strong, caring person. She was a busy lady, everything in order, her home always opened to all. We will miss her dearly. May God Bless you in your time of sorrow. Her legacy will live on through all of us.

My mom called her "The Maple Lady" because she loved maple furniture. She would visit my mom just about every Friday when she lived in Santa Clara while my mom took care of my babies. They continued their bond through the phone on a regular basis. I know my brother Pete has great memories of her too. They got into mischief and shared a lot of laughs. Sylvia, like my mom, loved going to the casinos. I guess my sisters & I will have to carry on that tradition in their memory! We will continue the bond with you. God bless you & you have my number! Love Always, Martha, Alan, Maritza & Everett Perrault
