Sydney Dudley - Angel

Sydney Dudley passed away on Friday night, not too long after Sam passed. To have two kids whose lives we follow so closely pass away suddenly so soon after one another...

Here's the news posted on her CaringBridge site (registration required) by her mom Rhonda:

Sydney Marie Dudley went to heaven....very suddenly.......we think she bled internally......

I will never be the same.......

my baby girl......

Though we never got to meet Sydney, Rhonda's amazingly positive and wacky posts described a girl whose heart was pure and loving. Sydney was treated by Dr. Sholler and they were friends as much as any two people could be, and so I know the good doc's heart is very heavy right now processing Sam and Sydney's passing.

Please pray for Sam and Sydney's families. While hearts are heavy here on Earth, I'm sure Max, Erin, Eden, Penelope, Ryan, James, Nathan, Spencer, Lucas, Dustin, Cody, Zachary, Katie, Austin, and all the other NB kids who preceded Sam and Sydney's entrance to heaven, greeted them with open arms and enveloping love.
