I knew Sidney as a gentle but fierce, caring person who stood up for disadvantaged disabled kids in schools and people who had endured trauma in their lives. We've lost another one of the good ones. Prayers and hugs for her family and may the good memories of a strong and decent woman be a blessing and source of strength!

I have loved Sidney Jo all her life. As Uncle S. E.'s late in life baby, she was a year younger than my daughter, Debbie and they became close friends from an early age. She has a rich Spiritual heritage being from the lineage of generations of Believers in The Almighty GOD of Israel and a rich American heritage being from the lineage of the first Anglicans who settled in Colonial James Towne, who planted a Cross claiming this nation for GOD.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of Sidney Jo. She did her best back in the day to teach me to twirl a baton. After many bruises she finally said. I don’t think you have what it takes. She was very sweet. My prayers are with her many friends and family. She was a very special lady.

Dearest Cousin of mine. What a surprise that God called you home, for your magnificent journey, when we spoke just a few days ago. I will never forget our friendship. We could open up to each other and just let it all out. Seems you have touched many the same way.
I have come to now your daughter-in-law, Mary, since your departure. She is as you said- a Jewel - Fabulous- and absolutely perfect for Aaron.
Aaron and Mary praying for God to anoint you with his strength in this very difficult time and provide comfort to your hearts.
Sid we miss you and know I will always love you. Goodbye my sweet cuz- we will see one another again.

Aaron and your wonderful family, I'll always reserve a soft spot in my heart for your sainted mother. She was a wonderful friend and , at times, confidant who frequently provided an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on and never failed to brighten my day! She WILL be missed, I'll have a hole in my spirit 'til my race is also run! My prayers for all, and may she RIP - AMEN!

Sidney became my dear heart sister after meeting her in Hills Hermit group. I was so blessed to meet her and her pups in person at her beautiful lake during a May 2020 road trip with my daughter and another Hills Hermit friend. My many chats with her and her video 'visits' to me and my goats in Kenya will be greatly missed. I send light and comfort to Aaron and Mary and her whole family.. ❤. Love from Laura
may you enjoy your lake forever Sid!

As a member of Sid's FB Hills Hermit family, i commend her into the loving arms of her Universal Christ, as her purest presence/spirit remains in yours forever, in your thoughts, and words, in what you choose to do and do not; all as she taught and modelled for you to do while she was physically alive.
