I looked back at the message I left two years ago, and it really says it all. I frequently think about all of the wonderful times with Sid and the family. I will end with a toast to him and all of the fond memories.

Love, Aunt All

On this anniversary of Sid’s passing, I hope Cindy and Mike remember the wonderful times we all had together as a family. Our family grew over the years, and our holiday dinners spilled over from the dinning room to the living room. It was a tight fit, but we loved those times. I am so pleased that I have those fond memories of our special evening together celebrating events in our lives. He, along with Ina and their children, filled our lives with joy and so much fun. As time goes by, it always brings a smile to my lips when I think of those times. Let’s take a moment and toast those times.

Love, Aunt Syl

Cindy & Michael, We lift you and your families up in prayer. I will always remember when we were HS students, talking to your father and his speaking his mind and treating me as an adult. God's grace and peace be on your father and you as you grieve his loss.
