El dia més bonic de la meva vida va ser quan vaig conèixer a la Sílvia en el seu 33 aniversari, precisament el dia 22 de maig de 2004. Era la meva professora de castellà. Des d'aquest moment sabia que volia compartir la meva vida amb ella per sempre.
La Sílvia ha deixat una emprenta inolvidable a la nostra vida. Era una persona magnifica i plena de vida. Era la persona més carinyosa que he conegut en tota la meva vida.
A la Sílvia li agradava viatjar, pintar, apprendre coses noves i llegir, però sobretot, ella li encantaba gaudir la companyia del seus familiars i del seus amics. Era un imant. Molta gent va experimentar la seva personalitat magnètica. Moltes vegades quan passejabem per Nova York, la gent miraba a la Sílvia amb un somriure i en diverses ocasions la saludaba. Mai en la vida he vist tantes persones atretes per una sola persona com en el cas de la Sílvia. Cada vegada que introduïa la Sílvia a algú, immediatament es captivava amb les seves qualitats especials.
La Sílvia semblava una persona vulnerable. Aquesta va ser la seva característica mes atractiva. Tenia un aspecte transparent i permetia que tothom gaudís de la seva obertura. En el fons era una dona valenta i forta que tenia molts èxits en la seva vida. Va venir a Nova York en 2004 només amb una maleta que contenia les seves pertinences. A més, la seva lluita contra una malaltia tant bestia com el càncer d'ovaris demostraba el seu amor de la vida i la seva voluntat de sobreviure. Sempre li deia que era la persona més forta que he conegut mai.
La Sílvia acceptaba a tothom tal com són, sigui gai o lesbiana, debil o fort, cult o simple, artistic o cientific, ric o pobre, blanc o negre. Igualment, era estimada per molta gent. La Sílvia mai feia mal a ningú. El contrari, tothom se sentia segur i acollit en presència de ella.
Estimada Sílvia:
Moltissimes gracies per compartir els ultims 15 anys de la teva vida amb mi. Ha sigut la epoca més feliç de la meva vida. Mai oblidaré com m’abraçaves, com m’agafaves la mà i com ens rèiem junts. M’has donat records tant macos que portaré per tota la meva vida.
Ets guapa, maca, inteligent i unica. Ets, i sempre seràs, l’amor de la meva vida. T’estimo molt i t’estimaré per sempre.
La teva ànima bessona,
Roger

A colleague and I were standing on the sidewalk speaking with Sylvia when her face suddenly lit up. I will probably always remember the look of shear joy on her face when she spotted Roger returning to the hotel in Hamburg, where we were all covering the In-Cosmetics show, and her running into his arms. Such a beautiful and spontaneous display of loving emotion. No wonder she was the love of his life. Lucky man. Sylvia, if you are reading this, please know how much you were loved by everyone who had the pleasure to know you and to be in your company - if only for a little while. You will be missed. Our prayers & thoughts continue to be with you and Roger as well as your families and friends.

Estimada Silvia, aún no podemos creer que ya no estés entre nosotros, eras y serás siempre muy querida y recordada tanto para mis padres como para mi.
Te fuiste a vivir muy lejos y el destino quiso que conocieras a Roger y empezaste a vivir una etapa muy feliz. Alli fundaste tu propia familia y el destino ha querido que allí te quedases, aunque siempre te llevaremos en el corazón.
Roger, has sido una persona excelente con Silvia, aún recuerdo que ella me decia : "He tenido mucha suerte en conocer a Roger, soy muy feliz a su lado y yo tambiién le quiero mucho".
Gracias por todo el carinyo que le has dado todos estos años, y recuerda que también tienes para siempre una familia en Terrassa.
Un abrazo muy grande.

Cousin,
Em venen molts records de moments viscuts amb tú que sé que no els oblidaré mai fins que arribi el meu final.
Sempre seràs la meva cosina estimada. La que m'entenia. Que m'escoltava quan ningú ho feia.
Que dubtava sempre com jo.
Però també eres l' alegre, la vital, la valenta i la lluitadora.
La germana de la meva edat que no vaig tenir.
Descansa en pau angelet perquè ja s'ha acabat patir.
El Jaume i els nostres fills Arnau, Gerard i Jan sempre et portaran com jo en el seu cor.
Roger moltes gràcies per ser com ets i per haver estimat tant a Silvia. Nosaltres també t'estimem molt.

Dear Roger
Not sure if you’ll remember me. I will always remember when we met one cold sunny day of Jan-2018 in a white NJ, the very same day I re-encountered Silvia after 30 years of not having seen her. She and me we met that time, in a foreign country for me, but very beloved to Silvia. And I am sure that her love for NY and NJ was mostly because of her love to you. It was a short meeting with you, but long enough to perfectly feel how much love to her you exuded. And that, I can say it now, that made me feel somehow comfortable, even relieved, as I realized that that delicate flower was so well protected. Unfortunately, even the strongest guardians cannot defeat fate. And now, that confidence turned to big sorrow for Silvia, and also for you. Seeing how strong your feelings were, I can somehow imagine how big is now your suffering. And I can only wish you have somebody supporting you with half the love you had for Silvia. All the strength, Roger. Take care
Estimada Sílvia
Sincerament no sé què dir. Després del xoc que em va produir la mala notícia, que em va durar hores, ara, passats uns dies, el que se’m repeteix al cap són les imatges del dia que ens vam retrobar a New Jersey i les teves paraules, i del posterior dia que vam sopar a Terrassa amb la Pilar i el Rubèn. I em sento egoista per sentir-me content d’aquests dos moments i tenir així uns bons records ben presents de tu. Però tampoc podia ser d’una altra manera. Com no havia de tenir bons records de tu? Tan delicada i lluitadora a la vegada; tan dolça; i sobretot tan amiga dels teus amics, amb una amistat que és amor pur. I em sento egoista també per sentir-me afortunat d’haver rebut aquesta amistat tan pura, lliure d’interessos i de superficialitats. Però per més egoista que sigui, prefereixo que aquesta felicitat per poder recordar-te propera i alegre, i aquesta sensació de fortuna s’imposin a la gran pena d’haver-te perdut que ara em domina, perquè sé que és el que tu vols, que quan pensem en tu estiguem contents d’haver-te conegut i haver gaudit de la teva amistat. I així estarem, en pots estar segura, tots els que t’hem conegut. Descansa en pau, bonica.

How could this happen to one so young and wonderful is something that we cannot comprehend.

Silvia was the sister I always wished for but never had, until she married my little brother. We had so much in common but even more than that, she taught me by example. The most unselfish, courageous young woman I’ve ever met. I’m truly blessed to have had Silvia Mendiola Buj in my life these past 15 years. Silvia is one of a kind and will be loved and remembered forever.

I met Silvia a few times through the years on occasions when she came to work with Roger. They were a lovely couple. Such a sad loss!
I remember how diligently Roger studied the language while he and Silvia were dating, he would read novels and other in-language books at our table during lunch - with this I could tell he loved her very much and that she was a very special woman.
My deepest condolences to Roger and the whole family.
