I am so sorry to hear of Sid's passing. You may know that he was my "twin". We were the only two babies born at Methodist Hospital on that particular day. We lost touch for many years but have enjoyed reparte over the past several. I will miss those yearly "Happy" notes.

God bless you all and help you through this difficult time.

Dear Sid: Your pool buddies miss seeing you sitting in the sun working on your walnut colored tan. Somehow that lounge chair doesn't look the same without you in it. Knowing you was a real pleasure.
