prayers for Nick, Sylvia's son

Here is a poem I found in a in a book titled "Living Beyond Breast Cancer" In a chapter called Endings.
It's titled : "To My Children"
I hope this comforts Nick in some small way.

If I ever stop breathing,
the flowers will inhale for me.

If I ever stop writing,
the grass will dot my i's.

If I ever stop listening,
the shells on the beach will hear you.

If I ever stop talking,
the rain will sing my song.

If I ever stop loving,
the sky will embrace you.

But if I ever stop living,
then you must live on for me.

My prayers and hugs go out to Nick
My deepest sympathies to Sylvia's mom and family.

Wonderful thoughts and poems too, Snoopy and Marey. Absolutely beautiful.

Let's keep this child in outr prayers as time goes on and as he grows. Sometimes as you watch your children laugh and play and achieve, remember Nick and say a prayer that God will keep him in the palm of His hand protected, comforted and loved.

I just saw Pete and Dan's posts about Sylvia, I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face, feeling so sad. I knew I had to come to the IB board, to be with all of you and offer my heartfelt sympathy to Sylvia's family and send hugs and prayers to her son Nick.

And to our friend Sylvia..May your rest in peace in Gods loving arms. You will be missed, but not forgotten.

Every time I hear the word breast cancer I will think of Sylvia.

Every time I wear a breast cancer pin, I will think of Sylvia.

Every time I pledge a donation for breast cancer..I will think of sylvia.

But, mostly, I will think about how Sylvia strived to live her life to the fullest, and never let this horrible cancer get her down. She was a wonderful mother and friend to us all.

May her spirit continue to soar....

My heart goes out to Nick and the rest of Sylvia's family - I will keep all of them in my prayers. I hadn't been on the DIS in the past couple of days and was saddened to hear of Sylvia's battle coming to an end. I can't begin to imagine the pain that her family is going through. I went and hugged my kids and we all said a prayer for Nick.
I think that all of the women of the DIS owe it to ourselves, families and the memory of Sylvia, to make sure that we all get our yearly mammograms. I personnally have never had one, but I am planning to call first thing Monday morning to schedule my first.

God Bless Slyvia and her entire family! For Nick, my heart goes out to him as I can not even imagine what he has and will continue to go through. Michelle posted that wonderful poem on here the other day........and like that poem, I wish enough for Nick.

I'm still touched by Nick and his mom and all the wonderful stories, good wishes and prayers.

God bless you Nick. May you feel and know that God and your Mom are surrounding you with their loving arms.

Sincerely, Ray :D

Thanks for bumping this up, Ray.

I think about Nick everyday. My heart aches for him because he is so young that his memories of his mother will seem so few some days.

I keep him in my prayers.
