Silvana Danielle Pignagrande, a vibrant and loving woman, was born on June 19, 1975. She lived life fully and was known for her contagious smile and positive energy. She was the kind of person who would light up any room she entered. Silvana's love for her family was evident, and she shared a special bond with her sister, Lorena Christensen.

Growing up, Silvana was always the life of the party. Her infectious laughter and free-spirited nature made her a joy to be around. She was never afraid to try new things and embraced every opportunity for adventure. This zest for life made her so memorable and cherished by her friends and family.

She escaped her abuser only to be tormented to the point of taking her own life.  He wouldn't stop calling or texting my mother or her that night.  He drove her to the point of no return.  Then moved on to another victim.  If only I had known. It's so hard even to fathom the mental torture he put her through that she thought there was no way out.  Together we can stop the abuse and prevent the death of others.
