To Holguin & Velasquez Families of Sylvia V. Holguin, My deepest sympathies on the passing of Sylvia, a dear friend of the Tranquilino & Josefa Hilario family. Her parents & my parents were old, dear friends for many years. As the youngest of the Hilario girls, I came to know Sylvia, Mary, & Chela. I was very sorry to hear of Sylvia's passing. She was a lady with a beautiful personality & a smile on her face whenever she saw you. May God grant you all the strength to go on. My prayers are with you.

My heartfelt condolences to all of you. I know exactly how you feel as I too just lost my mother on 6/11/14. I remember her so well from when I was a little girl and all the happy times she, Mr. Holguin, and my parents Memo & Ana Garza shared, I wish we could all relieve those days. I know she will be greatly missed by all of you but she is in a much better place and the best part no longer in pain. I last saw her at Monica & Mike Gallagher's wedding, beautiful & elegant as always. May she rest in eternal peace.

I am deeply saddened to read about Sylvia's passing. Now that I finally retired, I had been meaning to give her a call and find out if she was vacationing to Las Vegas or somewhere else. She was my dear friend who would invite me to join her group and visit certain beautiful places. I haven't been to those places since. I have very fond memories of the times that we worked together, vacationed, etc. She always had a gentle smile and positive attitude. Even though I had not talked to her since I left Laredo, I will certainly miss her. My condolences, prayers, and love are flying to her family.
