Although it has been a very long time since I've seen Sidney, I remember her from meeting her long ago when she served as a volunteer counselor at Headquarters Counseling Center. She was delightful, vibrant, funny, wise, and more. And although she lived with MS, between nutrition and other good health care, she was always "doing all the things." Sidney is one of the many Bright Lights who I've had the good fortune to cross paths with. The ripples of her Goodness continue. Best wishes to her closest ones who must miss her every day. Because Grief is Love.

I am just hearing of this. She was an amazing neighbor and friend. I always took her lilacs in the spring and today would have been her 89th Birthday. RIP Sydney
