She was continually helping Gabriel explore his many talents, especially his amazing ability to construct things with his hands, always surprising her with his creativity. She was their biggest fan. Her interests included everything. Literally, everything. She sewed, crocheted, did handy work, built doghouses, gardened, organized block parties, acted as a wedding planner, and the list goes on. There was not anything she could not do. Chandra is survived by her husband, Rogelio (Roger) Luis Silva and her sons Xavier Michael and Gabriel Alexander and numerous other family and many friends.
