Never was there a more gracious and loving lady than our Sidney! We will miss the elegance that she brought to every get together rather it be a reunion at Briarcrest, a picnic in the park or our monthly luncheons. Our hearts have a big void but we’re all better for having had her in our lives.

Never met Sidney in school, but when we met later in life, she was so friendly and nice like she had known me all her life. She was really a very kind and sweet lady !!
Jo Louise Piraino -Class Of 1962 (Burley)
I write this comment on Sid's passing with a very heavy heart. It's hard for me to even accept that she's no longer with us. I'm glad that her suffering is no longer and just ask Jesus to hold her in peaceful comfort. Sid, you were just the best and I cherish the good times we spent together. I end with Sid's precious "signature" ......'Love and hugs'!

We've lost another special lady, I guess we should expect to lose more and more friends as we get older but that doesn't make it any easier. Rest in peace and may the Lord be with you.
