To Sydney's family, I pray for God's peace and love as you are now "walking a new path" in life without her. You know the moment Sydney "went home" she was in Jesus' arms. Even though you deeply feel her loss, God also gives you a peace that only comes from having Jesus as your Savior. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you

To Sydney's family, my deepest sympathies and prayers are with you all. While I didn't know Sydney well, I had recently seen her in Payless and we chatted about earlier years where we had first met at Gymnastics Beat. Melanie and I enjoyed chatting about life and kids while our kids enjoyed classes. I remember both Sydney and Cassidy being sweet girls and were especially kind to my younger kids. My heart truly breaks for the loss of things Sydney will never get to experience and the joy she brought to you all.
