Myria Silva - Online Memorial Website

You have been on my mind a lot lately. I am friends with Benji on Facebook and look for pics of your girls all the time. They are so beautiful. Wish you were still here. Hugs and kisses are being sent to heaven for you.

I've been wanting to send condolences to your family on the tragic loss of your wife, mother, daughter and friend.

I will never forget the day my son, who was in training at Fort Leonard Wood, called home and told me about this tragedy. My heart stopped beating knowing that he was there when this happened. I often wonder how this can happen on/near a military base and go unnoticed for a few days. I've continued to follow the news articles regarding the case against the person who did this. I followed up until I read of his court martial and incarceration on The Guidon. 30 years does not seem enough time for such a heinous act, however I am glad to have read that Spc. Johnson did admit to his crime.

May you all find peace and comfort in the memories you have of Myria. Keep her close to your hearts and know that she is an Angel watching over all of you.

With deepest sympathies for you loss,
A Former Military Mom

I would like to send my condolences to the family. I knew Jermain for a very long time. I am close to the family and they are also deeply sorry for what crulety he has done. Your in my prayers myria and family

I've known Mryia since she was little.  I think of her often.  I know this probably isn't the place to ask this, but..is there any news on the monster who did this?  Has he been convicted?

Even though I never meant Myria personally she has touched my heart so much.  Her story is going to save lives. I know that it has made me think about the abusive relationship that I am in. Unfornately I do personally know the monster that did this. I will make sure that Myria is never forgotten here in Iowa because she has touched my heart and I will pass her story and memories on. My deepest condolences go out to her family and especially her beautiful little girls. A special prayer out to her mother and father but especially mom I can't imagine how it felt to hear what was done to her daughter. Being a mom and if some monster took my daughter I can't even comprehend. You are an angel Myria and you will always have a place in my heart.

Although we did not know Myria, our hearts go out to her husband and children and parents.  We were stunned to learn of her passing todayand the knowledge of this terrible circumstance weighs heavily.  We can imagine how difficult this time is as you struggle to understand how there could be such disregard for your loved one;  we know how close we may have come to experiencing this situation.   May you find peace with swift justice for Myria.

Wow girl, I miss you so much!  You was so amazing and even though i already knew this so many people keep talking about how you always brightened their day when it was going bad and some of them didnt really know you like that but you still helped them!  You are such an amazing person.  I miss you more and more everyday.  I really cant believe it.  I miss calling you at whatever time i wanted to and talking to you til the sun comes up.  You was so amazing and was the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for!  I wouldnt of change anything about you. Your the shit and are always in my mind.  We got alot of memories together.  One of my favorites is how much you cared for your babies and godchildren.  You treated Makayla like she was yours and I could still hear you telling me that you are my baby daddy and dont trip cause everything will work out.  We got so many memories and had so little time.  We was suppose to be old together.  I will always keep your memories alive and going.  Makayla will always know her TiTi Myria too!  I will always try my best to keep Paris and Makayla as close as they are.  I love you girl and miss you so very much. 

I only knew Myria for a little while.  We worked at the Rockin' R together.  She was so sweet and cheerful.  We always talked about getting our kids together to play, but never got around to it.  I regret that so much now.  I can't believe I'm never going to see her again.  She called people "Boo" and I thought that was the cutest thing ever.

 

My condolences to her family.  I know she loved you all so much.  We talked about our children all the time.

 

I'll miss you Boo.

 Even though I only knew Myria for a little bit, I instantly saw what a great mom and friend she was. Although she did not know me like she did most, when ever she saw me she stopped and said Hi and asked me how I was.

I am so sorry that you have lost such a beautiful, loving , young Lady. She is missed and will always be missed by those who knew here, even by those of us who only knew her for a bit.

Rest in Peace Myria and know that you are thought of often.
