Life story

This is a page to celebrate the life of Sylvie Michelle Zacovic. She is loved by so many. Sylvie loved watching Ms. Rachel and Shrek. She knew how to use sign language to say “all done”. She was always smiling and laughing. At almost 11 months old she had already tried 102 different foods! Her favorite foods were pizza, pickles, sweet peppers, avocado toast, and peanut butter banana pancakes. Her best friend was her cat Morty. He made her laugh uncontrollably when he played with his toys. Her face lit up when her daddy walked into a room. She loved being held and cuddled. We love and miss you so much baby girl.

To my sweet baby girl

There are so many things that I love about you that I may have a hard time not listing every single little thing. Like your toothy smile or the perfect curls right by your ears. One of my favorite memories was getting to hold you for the first time on my chest. I was overcome with so much love that I burst into tears. I couldn’t believe that this little 5 pound baby was mine. My body kept you safe for almost 9 months and here you were in person. The wait was finally over and you were more than I ever could have imagined. Watching you grow was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I am so grateful that your daddy and I got to be with you for those 10 precious months. I wish we had more time with you. We will hold onto every memory until we see you again. I love you so much baby girl. -Mommy

Sweet Sylvie

You are a place in my heart that will forever be filled with love and memories. Though it is hard to choose, one of my favorite things was when Daddy and PaPa would watch football downstairs and we would have girl time reading books, playing peek-a-boo, and looking out the window at the birdies. You bring me so much joy every single day! Love you so much! MerMer❤️

Precious Sylvie

I only got the chance to meet you in person in June of 2024, but what a happy girl who really loved her mommy and daddy! I was so thankful to be able to spend a little bit of time playing with you and watching you interact with everyone! Such a beautiful smile and contagious laugh!❤️

Sweet sassy Sylvie

You brought so much joy into our chaotic house. Anytime your mama brought you over the kids fought over who got to hold you first. I can only imagine the trouble you would have gotten into with them as you got older. I loved getting my baby snuggles from you, you were the best little snuggler. Your smile and bright blue eyes always brightened the room. We all love you so so much. 💛

Our sweet Sylvie

I remember the first time I held you I was so scared. I sat next your mom and Ellen to help me through holding a precious baby like you. Despite the fact that I was scared I was also excited to meet you and watch you grow up right before my eyes. You looked like a perfect mix between your mommy and daddy. I love for a short moment in time we got to share the same middle name from the most influential woman in all of our lives.
