October 10th is the birthday of our beloved Sullivan matriarch, mother, mother-in-law, aunt and grandmother, Darlene Shajin Silva Sullivan: Wife of Uncle Bob; mother (and mother-in-law) of John, Jim and Erin, Bobby and Nicole, Paul and Stephanie, Mike and Shelly, Tim and Maureen, Sister John Mary, Margaret and Paul Lewis, Ella and Phillip Herrington, Peter and Melody; aunt of the nine children of Big Sully and many more on the Silva side; grandmother of about 50 Sullivans, Lewises and Herringtons; and friend to so many more.
Aunt Darlene has always been Uncle Bob's beloved other half--strong and loving, faithful and smart. She is the beating heart of the family, an engine of love and courage. Living proof of this is the love and devotion shown by her nine living children. Whether they live far or near--Vancouver, British Columbia or right next door--each one and their families are in almost constant contact with Aunt Darlene, seeking her advice, discussing the world's challenges or laughing about the various antics of the clan.
Happy birthday, Aunt Darlene, and may you have 43 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.
God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.
Love,
Patty
