Be a part of the Strides for Sylvie team this Memorial Day and support Tomorrow's Childrens Fund
Samantha gave Sylvie her favorite party dress. Sylvie has worn this dress about 100 times beginning with her 2nd birthday last year.
Our daughter, Sylvie, was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer on 2/11/09. This blog follows our journey. We had the most glorious 3 months this fall when Sylvie regained her strength, confidence and wit. On Sunday 11/29/09, Princess Sylvie passed away following a mystery infection. We hoped this blog would have a fairy tale ending. We concluded, as we bid our tearful goodbyes to our beloved daughter, that she looked like a princess waiting for True Love's Kiss.

Love, Rome & Nina
Michael & Audra,
ReplyDeleteYou showed courage and strength the past 9 months that we could not imagine and for that we have admired you every day. This is absolutely beyond imagination and unfair beyond words. We pray that your courage and strength helps you through these days to come. Your little angel will always be with you and in all of our hearts.
Love always,
Scott, Michele & Molly Thomson
Audra and Michael,
ReplyDeleteScott and I were heart broken to hear of Princess Sylvie's passing. Your stregnth as parents is inspirational. Sylvie was a beautiful and brave little girl who had the ability to melt hearts where ever she went (even the hearts of a few fire fighters I know). We're thinking of you.
Cindy and Scott Noonan
audra, I cannot shut my computer.
ReplyDeleteI cannot get you and michael and of course sylvie out of my mind.
I just feel stuck in this time and place with you. I am so sorry that I was unable to come to the services and shiva.
I am so comforted to read the messages and outpouring of love from so many people that surround you and Michael, AND I am not surprised in the same breath that there is so much support for you at this time, as it is a reflection of the person that you are. I feel so honoured to be one of the people in your community at this time, and we won't let you down babe. Here for you always, chantal k

ReplyDeleteGod bless you and your families .

Did sylvie have the swine flu that made her die email me and let me know my email address is csommo015@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI bet you are really missing your princess sylvie Today has been a week since her passing. Everyday you must be thinking about her that she is in a better place with the angels in heaven. She must be seeing other angels just like her who is with her and guiding her and also keeping a close eye on her. She will be in your hearts at all times Now maybe you could have another baby and it may be a handsome little boy.
ReplyDeleteNow that Slyvie is gone. You and Michael don't have anymore stresses in your life like taking Slyvie to the HUMC every time she had a high fever or anymore tests or treatments. You must be relived from the stresses you had in those 9 months with her. That must of put a drain on you and Michael I am glad you are free from that now
ReplyDeletewhen was Sylvie's birthday was it in august?
ReplyDeleteSylvie's birthday IS May 12. If you could have seen her face light up at HUMC when she saw her friends, made art projects, brought presents and searched for her favorite book, it was not nearly so stressful for Sylvie. Now we have a new set of stresses that are totally uncurable and unfixable. I would gladly return to frequent trips to HUMC as you can imagine.
ReplyDeleteAudra and Michael.... I had no idea and just logged in to read your blog after 3 months of no contact or checking in.
ReplyDeleteA piece of my heart went with her.
Love pouring out to you in every direction.
