‘I even put her in her first pageant and she won! I’ll never forget how excited she was and how fun it was getting her all dressed up. I heldpd with cheer and When it was time for college, we applied and spent days together. She got into so many schools but settled on Wilmington, a really good fit for her.’
‘Sydney loved her family (man she was a daddy’s girl) and made sure everyone felt special and included. She was the most beautiful girl on the inside and out. We are lost, broken, I am mad and honestly I dont think we will move on and that’s just my family. Abel, Jude and Vedah are devastated. Please pray for her family, parents, siblings, friends and my Kate and Austin. Life has been ruthless recently.’
