Dr. and Mrs. Cachay and Patrick, I am so sorry about Sylvie’s death. I still remember when I first met Sylvie, her freshman year at Marymount. She was so lovely, confident and talented, even at such a young age. She was a truly wonderful person and will be remembered with great fondness. I wish you well during these difficult times.
We are very sorry for your loss. Sylvie made a lasting impression on everyone at Marymount University. Her talent was incredible. She proved to everyone that you can live your dream. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with her family and friends. Dana Doughten President Marymount Fashion Club
Tony and Sylvia, I am deeply saddened by your loss. To loose anyone in a family is painful especially a child. My own life trials of metastic Stage 4 ColoRectal CA and loosing my wife on 04/18/10 to Ovarian CA have been painful learning experiences for my son and myself. I wish I knew God’s Master Plan. I accept on Faith that as painful as our life experiences might be, GOD only want the greatest good for all HIS children. I accept this “mystery”, learn and have grown from what I would at one time considered a tragedy. I always considered it a privilege to provide anesthesia for your cases and your wife. Your daughter is with my wife Elizabeth in Heaven, near the Master Healer, GOD/JESUS/HOLY SPIRIT. My prayers for my wife in Heaven now will include your daughter in Heaven and the family left behind. Your Brother in Christ and I am honored to consider you both friends. Peace, Light and Love Steve Brown

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
Dr. and Mrs. Cachay and Patrick, I am sorry for your loss. I was in the fashion program at Marymount University with Sylvie. We were not friends, but I remember when she would walk into my studio class at times- and what I remember about her was her smile, happiness, and friendliness. I know that this tragedy must be unbareable but Sylvie is fotunate to have you, Dr. and Mrs. Cachay and Patrick, here because of your love and prayers she will ascend heaven with so much love and peace.
Silvia: Mis oraciones para Uds. en estos momentos y que Dios les de fortaleza. Sylvie es un angel cuidándoles! Un abrazo fuerte. Leila Kihara
Dear Dr. Cachay and Mrs. Cachay, Dios mediante se acordaran de mi, hijo mayor de Manuel Erwin Nunez y Sonia Beatriz Contreras. Hace tantos anos desde que nos vemos. Yo era paciente suyo y mis padres eran buenos amigos de uds. Mi mama fue la que me conto lo que paso a Sylvie. Lei sobre la tragedia sin poder creer mis ojos. Uno piensa que tales tragedias nunca ocurren a los que uno conoce, pero el mundo esta lleno de luz y de sombra; bondad y malicia. Que descanze el alma de Sylvie, su hija, que tanto cumplio a tal edad. Y que el dolor que sienten en sus corazones se mejore con el tiempo, sabiendo que la veran de nuevo en el proximo mundo. Tambien que la justicia alcanze al culpable, porque tales hechos no deberian pasar sin ser castigados, si no solo por prevenir tal maldad de otra ocurrencia a las manos del culpable. Pero sepan que si no las paga en este mundo, las pagara en peor forma en el proximo. Que Dios los bendiga siempre. Manuel Fernando Nunez C.
