REALTOR Agent loses Son in Tragic Event. Please support her in Prayer.

By
Education & Training with REALTOR & CEO The 3B Method Seminars

I ask a request of you: Please say a prayer and send a card out to a fellow REALTOR, Sylvia Lopez.

Sylvia is an agent in Texas with Coldwell Banker APEX. Lori Arnold, owner of Coldwell Banker APEX posted a prayer request for Sylvia and I asked if I could help her spread this to others to pray. I first was going to blast it to all the REALTORS only with CB and then realized that all REALTORS would care to to hear this and lift her and her family up in prayer.

Sylvia's 20 year old son was driving a few days before Christmas and was shot randomly. You may have heard on the national news about a Utah Trooper that had quit and come to Dallas. He was on drugs/alcohol and shot 4 people. 2 died and one was Sylvia's son. He was planning to ask his girlfriend to marry him on Christmas Eve (they had been dating since they ere 16). Such a sad and tragic event.

Any cards can go to the folowing address:

Coldwell Banker APEX, 375 Cedar Sage #200, Garland, Texas 75040

I have been a REALTOR since 1994 and regardless of what company you represent we all have one a bond and we all have an obligation of support to any fellow agent in a time of need as this. Please let her know we care! Please also print this and share it with fellow agents!

Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this with us Elizabeth. I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. You are so correct - our business affiliation does not matter at a time like this. So very tragic.

I simply can not imagine what she is going through right now. You know we live everyday thinking it cant happen to us, and it is just completely tragic to think that it really can. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Sylvia and her son...

We are NEVER supposed to outlive our children. But when tragic murders occur, the nightmare never ends...My heart breaks for her and her family with this senseless loss.  Reminds me of the story about John the Baptist, who was beheaded for a birthday favor. I will pray for good to come from this loss.

This is so sad, thoughts and prayers are with the family, life really is short and you just really don't know what is going to happen.
