Through their grief and mourning, the family of Cylea Lyrio, who was killed by a suspected drunken driver last weekend, is celebrating the life of the 62-year-old Brazilian immigrant who brought her family to Pensacola 21 years ago in search of a better life. She worked hard every day. She never took a weekend off that I remember, said Frency Moore, the daughter of the late Lyrio and the wife of Pensacola City Councilman Jared Moore. My brother (Yuri Ramos) swam. We both went to Pensacola High. He was a swimmer and I played basketball and my parents, they very seldom ever came to our meets or games. Because they were constantly working, trying to fit the bill of the American dream.
