I just saw a woman on LinkedIn with your name and thought about the day when I was told that you passed. Flood of emotions came rushing in again. You and the twins were a few of my first friends in The Happiness Club. We used to have so much fun and laugh so hard at anything - just being silly youth and enjoying each other’s company. Years later, to see your growth as a young lady and your love for God.. all the wonderful accomplishments you had over the years, chatting about future plans and thanking God for how he kept us and brought us into fruitful adult lives. When I found out you had been sick, I couldn’t fathom it. So much life ahead. But that’s the thing, you did so much in a short time. Everyone loves you, and you encouraged us all. A light with your smile and personality. Solid character and uprightness. You accomplished what it takes a lifetime for many to do. Beacon of God’s light. Walked in the way God asks us to and lead by example. May God continue to watch over your family. Monice Sharde’ will see you again, Siedah Sharday!

Wow, I cried last night calling out your name in my dreams "Don't go Siedah". So thank you for visiting me, it was great seeing your smile. I guess I'm just a big softy and my eyes are still raining.

Love and miss you,. Uncle Rod!

Missing my fun girl and practical joker at times when it comes to those jokes, but missing you always, love you and praying you are missing us also. We are so sorry we could not do anything, it was totally out of our hands, and the blessing in all of this is you knew this, because I prepared you to know God in the event of a journey and challenge such as this.
