Adoniram Silva: Nov. 25, 1945 - Aug. 27, 2008

I regret to inform you of the passing of our beloved, Don Silva. Many of you have been blessed by his artistic talent through this blog and I wish to thank you all for offering your support through prayers and donations. Don was an incredible person whose actions reflected the love of Christ. He was a teacher, a preacher, a leader, a creative force, a selfless man who sacrificed his life for his family's well-being.

May the Lord who gifted him with such wonderful talent and a heart to share, now show him all the beauties of the heavenly places where he may share in peace for ever more.

Father, we lift our hearts in gratitude for the life of Don our brother now gone from among us; for all that Don was to those who loved him, and for everything in Don's life that reflected you, we thank you.
We thank you for the privilege of knowing Don and sharing in his life through his art.
Help each of us to lean upon you as Don did. May almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit bless us and keep us, now and forever more.
Amen
I am very sorry for your loss. May God give you the strength to get through this and our prayers are with you. What a talent he had.
So sorry to hear the news. He was so gifted and willingly shared his gifts with us. May God comfort you in this time of loss.
I had been so looking forward to Don's return from Colombia and having the opportunity to be inspired by his weekly offering of lectionary based graphics. When I logged on today I was stunned to read of his sudden death. What a loss to his family and to our Christian church, who have been blessed by his presence and the sharing of his gifts.
May all who grieve Don's death find comfort in the One who promises to be with us always, hope in the One who died so we might live, and love in the One who loves beyond all measure, this day and forever.
Sharing in your loss,
Sue Cowan, Minister
Emmanuel UC, Brampton, Ontario
So sorry to hear of this wonderful, talented man's passing. He had a true God's gift in art. His family is in our prayers
To the family of Don Silva,
My heartfelt sympathy to you who mourn the death of Don. May the comfort of Christ and the hope of an eternal reunion be yours.
How many eyes and minds were lifted to sights and thoughts of the divine because of Don's artwork? More than you will ever know ... .
I am so sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was truly a talented, gifted and loving man. He will be in my thoughts and prayers. May he be at peace and reunited with his mother.
Stunned. In the few months I have visited this site I came to rely on him, even when I chose not to use the graphics. This is a great loss for the church I can only imagine the loss you must feel.
May the peace of God which passes all human understanding be with you.

Dear Jeff and family,
I so much miss Don and his great faith and talents. I remember you all in my prayers.
Is it possible for you to put on the site all his lectionary clip art. or put it on a CD. I'd gladly pay for it. My e-mail is snowball.aab@verizon.net
I just found this blog. I was immediately astonished for the awesome graphics, but soon I learnt about Don's death. May God bless the whole family. Now he is admiring the very reality of his inspiration source.
Hola: Es la primera vez que entro a éste blog. Y me encontré una bella historia de amor a los demás de una vida entregada por amor.
Sigue dando frutos su labor.
Gracias, Don dondequiera que estés
