Dear all
Mother Sylvine's funeral is over. She has been cremated in Immaculate Conception church in Ic Colony, Borivili west, Mumbai. There were about 13 priests, big group of Bethany sisters lead by Mother General Wilburta and lots of family members and loving people. The eulogy rendered by Mother Wilburta is nothing but a loving, respecting and gracious farewell gift to Sylvine from Bethany group. There will not be anything bigger they that could have offered. We are totally grateful to them. On behalf of family Lidwin said loving words to Sylvine who was our spirit in the family. Thanks to so many heart touching comments in Daiji. Eachone is better than the other and said feelings directly from their hearts. We cannot thank each and everyone of you directly. But we are indebted to you. Bishop Henry wrote wonderful thoughts about Sylvine. We didn't know that she was loved by so many people silently or else we could have asked our Lord to keep her in between us for few for years. Thank you all. You have shared our sorrow and grief. We will not forget it.I Lancy on behalf of Sr. Noeline Bs, Stella Dsouza, Winny, Gratian the sisters and brother of Sylvine thank all of you from bottom of our hearts. May God bless you. Thanking each and everyone of you for your condolences.

Sr Wilberta BS & Bethany Sisters, Mangalore

We grieve the loss of Sr Sylvine whom God was pleased to take to Himself. We are grateful to God for the gift of her person to Bethany who served the Instistitute with love and commitment. At an young age she was chosen to join the pioneering group of Sisters to venture into the Northeast mission in 1962 where she served as a teacher, Superior, Principal and Regional Superior. In 1980 she was elected as the Superior General of the Congregation at the age of 42. Being a devoted daughter of Bethany she emulated the life of our founder, Servant of God Raymond Mascarenhas and as per the teachings of the Church she led the Congregation with great zeal and dedication.

During her tenure the Constitutions of the Congregation were revised and d to emphasize our call to mission. Generalate team opened social service centres in remote places of the country. The congregation was bifurcated into five Provinces and Provincial Superiorss were appointed to lead these units. As a Superior General she was totally available to the Sisters, especially to vulnerable persons and her empathetic caring was remarkable. Bethany was her home for the major part of her life for 38 years. Those youthful years she spent in loving service her joviality and friendly nature and love for the poor, her spirit of forgiveness, care for the individual sisters, above all the trust and confidence in the Lord are noteworthy. Bethany grieves at her passing away. May her soul rest in peace.
