​​Sylvia Caras

3 October 1935-23 January 2022 
She left us on her own terms, without pain, may she rest in peace. We love you, Sylvia​

The first Sylvia Caras that died was her daughter, Sylvia Victoria Caras who went by her middle name Victoria.  "Sylvia Victoria Caras died August 28 in Aspen from a rapidly progressive cancer. She leaves a mother, a brother, and many, many friends."​

   Our Sylvia, who was a founding member of MHCAN and a board member many times over, had intended to leave us much sooner.  She had stayed for the comfort of others.​

   She leaves a super nice grand daughter who brought us warm socks for homeless folks who needed them.
