To the Sidney family,
I am so sorry for your loss, Mrs. Sidney was above and beyond a wonderful mother, not just to her own, but to others when they came to visit. I remember many times at the home on Roaring Springs Road, when I would visit as a child, and she would always welcome me. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through the loss of such a wonderful person!!!
Love, R.B. Haynes
