SOLIS -- Sylvia In Loving Memory of Sylvia Ozanich Solis Sometimes two children can be so blessed to be born to a mother so wonderful, so beautiful, so kind, that it takes them to become an adult to realize what a special mother she was. She taught us to walk, to talk, to respect others and to believe in God. We have such sweet and precious memories that you gave us and left us with. We will always cherish those. We know that you are in Heaven where you shine so warm and bright at God's side. If a flower blooms in Heaven every moment that we miss you, you'll stroll forever through blossoms bending down to kiss you. Happy 85th birthday mom. We love you and miss you dearly Your loving family and friends
