Rest in Peace Dad.
Grandson
I’ve never been so happy to have a grandfather such as Syd; He fought his battles, and through the pain he endured throughout his life, and all the children he had to raise, he was rewarded with love from his family, and friends. I will go on to miss him everyday, but i know he’s at peace. Goodbye’s aren’t forever, and someday we will see him again. He will be missed by all of us.
Blessed are the peacemakers. -Matthew 5:9

We were so sorry to hear of Sydnor’s death; however, we know that he is in a better place and is no longer in sickness and pain. Our sympathy and prayers go out to the family in We were so sorry to learn of Syd’s death. Our sympathy and prayers go out to the family in their loss. We have learned as the years roll onward and leave the past behind, that much we counted sorrow, only proves that God is kind. Many a rose we longed for had a hidden thorn of pain, and many a rugged pathway led to fields of ripen grain. We must live through the weary winter if we are to value the spring, the woods must be cold and silent before the robin sings. The flowers are buried in darkness before they bud and bloom, and the sweetest and warmest sunshine comes after the dark and gloom. The heart from the hardest trial gains the purest joy of all, and from the lips that have tasted sadness the sweetest songs shall fall. For as peace comes after suffering and love is the reward of pain, so after earth comes Heaven and out of our loss our gain!
Love you!

I know that you have suffered for many years and Im so happy to know that you are now in your “happy” place and in Virginia…yes..Sammi made sure you got home! You will be missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families. A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts, through us, they live on.
