I KNEW YOUR MOTHER FROM HAVING HER AS A SCHOOL TEACHER AT HASSON HEIGHTS ELEM. SCHOOL IN THE 70`S. MY HEART AND PRAYERS ARE OUT TO YOUR FAMILY. AN OLD SCHOOL STUDENT BOB GRAFF.
I was deeply saddened to learn of Sidy’s passing. She was a wonderful, kind, and loving person, whom I had the privilege of knowing when I was growing up in Oil City. She was the mother of one of my dearest friends, Linda Hildebrand Davis. I spent many happy times at the Hildebrand’s home and have so many wonderful memories of both Linda and Sidy! Sidy will be missed tremendously. Heaven has just gained a remarkable angel . I send my deepest sympathies to Lanny, Bean, Bobby, Jill, and Joyce. May you all find peace and comfort in the difficult days ahead.
