I want you all to know what a true blessing Sydney and her journey was to our family. Aside from praying for her as a family--each of my big kids prayed independently for your sweet daughter and her brothers. They have been so dilligent in their prayers--thank you for allowing such a personal walk be so public. Our family will take a new approach to our faith and prayers because of Sydney.

I pray that today will be a wonderful day to remember Sydney and honor Christ. I pray your family will be sustained during this difficult time and I pray you all will be able to ease back into things as soon and as simply as possible. We will never forget this walk and will continue to lift up the Thweatts in prayer.

In His love...

Taylor, Jennifer, Colin, Emily, Sarah and Mary

As I wake up this morning and am called to pray
for you this day. A day to mourn, but also a day to praise the Lord for the wonderful life of Sydney.
I ask the Holy Spirit to come and surround this family and to feel the presence of Him as this
day begins.
Thank you Father for the promise of the sunrise and the sunset on this day and the hope that Lynette talks about in her posting.
Help us to be changed forever by the life of Sydney as we live on to serve you and honor her memory and what You accomplished through her.

I Love you,

Susan

Hello,
First and foremost...I know Sydney is now pain free and dancing in heaven with her cute little polished toenails!
I live in OC CA and I do not know you nor your family. A friend of a friend told me about you. However I feel I have come to really know you through the wonderful & inspiring journals that have been created. I have been with you in spirit and in heart since the beginnining. Your journals have been like a "LIVE" book to me. I am always on the edge of my seat and need to know what is going on and exactly how I need to pray. I share this with my family, friends and my ladies bible study meeting each week. My prayer is now for you and your families to believe and trust that little Sydney is at peace and her spirit will tickle you when you least expect it. Jesus Loves You...He will never forsake you. Sydney brought MANY to Christ...I KNOW this. In His name I keep you all in my prayers, Sherry Sparacino & family.

I would like to extend my sympathy to you and your family. I feel like I know you even though we have never met. I kept you all in my prayers and I trust that Our Lord has a plan even if it is not what we wanted. It is so comforting to know that your precious Sydney has been promoted to glory and is smiling down on us and sitting next to Jesus.

How encouraging to watch your faith in our Lord! Even in the midst of tremendous physical hurt, it's been an encouragement to watch you know that our Lord is sovereign and that His plans are perfect, even though we don't understand. Know that I will continue to pray for you, that you will continue to place your trust in the One who created Sidney and who is in charge of all of our lives! Press on!

I remember walking into the gym one afternoon to find Sydney playing on the risers that had been set up for something that was going on that night. Her mom was busy trying to set things up and she was smiling at me holding onto a well used platypus. Her smile was so captivating that I couldn't help but ask her, GǣSydney, how come you're so pretty?Gǥ She didn't even bat an eye. She looked right back at me, and answered confidently, GǣBecause God made me that way.Gǥ

Sydney was one of my favorite regular visitors at the front desk when I first started working at Providence. Whether she was sitting behind the desk pretending to be Lisa Summers, refusing to leave when Lynette asked her to come out from behind the desk because, as Lisa Summers, she had to work, or she was in front of the desk standing on her tip toes trying to prop her casted arm on the counter. I remember laughing when I asked her how she broke her arm, and she started out the story with her available hand on her hip, GǣWellGǪI was walking around in my high healsGǪGǥ

I am so sorry. The last thing I wanted to happen to this girl was for her to die at such a young age. Sydney, this one is for you. STAY GOLD SYDNEY, BECAUSE THERE IS STILL GOOD IN THE WORLD. Family, if you get a chance, listen to the song "Yesterdays" by Switchfoot. It is a sad but powerful song.

I just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss, when I saw that Sydney is no longer with us I was so heartbroken. But reading about how God has kept you up and how He restored Sydney before taking her with Him was more than encouraging. Only God can do something like that. I can't even imagine how deep your loss is, and you and your family are in my prayers. Your faith in Christ is one of the most inspiring things I have ever seen and He'll bless you for that when you are all together with Him.

Sydney my hero for going through the pain when i cant even begin to imagin. Sydney Sydney my sister in christ my hero in life.(jerhamiah 29:11)

I'm an old acquaintance of James's from school. I heard about Sydney from another old friend. My heart goes out to your family and friends who all knew her. It's hard losing a child, but when you know in your heart they are going to live with Jesus and you will see her again soon, it makes the pain a little easier to bear. My love and prayers are with you. In Christ, Susan Logue

I remember Sydney as the cute little girl who LOVED her brothers. When we (the current 8th grade at providence) were in 6th grade we would walk through the playground area to get to our classes after P.E. The second we walked out of those doors Sydney would stop what she was doing and run up to us to ask the question, "Is Jamesie coming?" The second she saw James walk out of the door she would yell, "Jamesie!!!", run to him and give him a HUGE bear hug. She held on to him until he reached the gate that led out of the playground where she reluctantly let go of him and said goodbye. She never failed to find James. Each day that happened, all of the girls would whisper to eachother, "That is the cutest thing ever" or "Aww she's soo cute!"
Through her illness, her tenacity and constant good attitude amazed me. It is beyond me how she was able to keep a smile on her face throughout much pain.
Sydney was a light in the darkness and she will forever be in my heart and memories.
SEE YOU SOON, SYDNEY!
~Much Much Love, Mikaela

I never had the pleasure of meeting precious Sydney, but I heard through many what a vivacious, beautiful, and amazing little girl she is. I would have been her art teacher at Providence for her first grade year. During that year I became pregnant and recently had my own daughter- what an indescribable blessing. As I look at my Savannah and think of the love in my heart for her, I can't imagine what you felt watching little Sydney struggle with this illness. I pray for peace for your family, and relief to know she will never be in pain again. God bless you all.
