I think about Sylvie all the time. Even though I have retired from teaching, I think of her talent and grace. She was always exceptional. I still have copies of her illustrations, which I hold very dear. She achieved a lot in her short life...much more than most are able.

Queridos Pepe y Silvia,
Acabamos de regresar de Lima por lo que no pudimos acompanharlos el 14. No hay palabras para consolarlos de una perdida asi. Sylvie tuvo un destino muy corto entre nosotros, pero su vida alumbro brillantemente a muchas personas. Demas decirles lo consternados y apenados que estamos.
Va con este nuestras oraciones con un fraternal abrazo. Mariel y Carlos

I didn't know Sylvie personally but was saddened by the story of her death. It's never easy losing a loved one; especially so young. May your precious memories of her and strength from "the Father of tender mercies and God of all comfort," ease your pain.

Queridos Pepe y Sylvia: No he podido acompañarlos en Lima pues estoy afiebrada pero ayer pude dejarles un mensaje en casa. Los acompaño en su dolor con inmensa pena y se que Dios los va a llenar de bendiciones para que puedan afrontar el dolor de su partida. Es una tremenda pérdida. Hace 9 años que partí de Washington y vi a Sylvie muy niñita. Realmente era una chica extraordinaria y llena de talentos. Un afectuoso abrazo.
A Christmas Prayer for those who have suffered the death of a loved one
God of compassion, there is such a hole in my heart! Today should be a day of joy, but I feel only emptiness and loss. While the world celebrates around me, I remember Christmas celebrations of the past and I long to have my loved one with me. I bring my sorrows to you, Lord, like some odd gift of the magi and dump them at your feet. In my blind tears I wonder if anyone can possibly understand the depth of my sadness.
I know, you can. You sent your son to be with us in our deepest sorrows and I know that even though I might not feel it now, you are here with me, grieving with me, caring for me in my sadness. Dearest lord, help me to turn to the one I miss so much today and speak. Help me heal the loss of our parting and help me not to regret the things I didn't say. Sorrow tears at my heart, but today I ask that my loss soften my heart and make me more compassionate with everyone I meet, so that my loss may become a gift to others.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is very difficult to bear the loss of a loved one. May the God of tender mercies who strengthens us in our trials and hardships sustain you at this most difficult time--2 Cor. 1:3, 4. C.Day

Silvia y Dr. José Cachay:
My mas sentido pesame por tan irreparable perdida , aunque no comparti mucho con su hijita, me he sentido sumamente afectada con la noticia, siempre recuerdo en mi memoria cuando hace muchos anos coincidimos en un viaje de regreso de Lima-Peru (viajamos el mismo dia de Ano Nuevo) y Uds me presentaron a su hijita y la verdad quede impresionada con la personalidad y la exotica belleza de Silvye, que Dios les de el consuelo por tan triste perdida., Mi esposo comparte su dolor pues hace 02 anos en forma imprevista perdio a su hijo de 28 anos y comparte esa pena .
