I offer my deepest most heartfelt condolences to the Sykes family for the loss of Omar. Omar was loved & cherished by all who've encountered him. I am so blessed to have been one of the many at HU to have been infected by his brilliant smile & caring spirit.
May God bless you & keep you during this difficult time...and always.
R.I.P Omar. You'll be so missed by your HU family & I shall forever remember.
