I truly loved Sydney. Although there were many years between us, we'd know all the same songs and all it would take is one word or note and we'd burst into song. I have many many wonderful memories of our times together. Ira also has a few funny stories of their golf trips with the guys. Sydney is just gone from sight but not in our memories and hearts. We'll love him always. Sondra & Ira
