Sydney was such a blessing. She knew how to light up the newspaper room, no matter the day. Her smile was infectious. Her dedication to creating a quality paper, as well as inspiring the rest of us to always be positive and smile, was truly inspirational. She will be greatly missed.

We are so sorry to hear about Sydney. She was always happy and loved to play with Carrie and Leeah. She never complained about her problems! We all hated it when y'all had to move away from Sugar Hill. She was a very brave person and we all can learn lessons from her. We are glad to know that she is walking with God now and has no more problems. With Love from Cathie Carrie, Leeah and Lawrence Emerson
