Syd was one of the most extraordinary women I have ever had the privilege to know.  While Syd was in Houston she did a superb job of managing the Tallowood Townhouse association.  Her work ethic was amazing.  She was smart, compassionate. and did the right things for the complex.

At the same time, Syd was always a very fine dresser -- one of the most fashionable ladies there.

 I loved Syd and know she is amazing others in her next life.

To Syd's family,

When I lived in Houston in the '70's and '80's,  Syd became the manager of my condo complex.  She was a powerhouse - smart, funny, knowledgeable, very good at managing and always listened to the residents' concerns and offered expert solutions.  People were immediately drawn to her! As our friendship grew, I was amazed at her wit, energy, scope of knowledge and interests and of course, her sophistication and impeccable fashion sense!  I remember her pets at the time, a cute little Yorkie, Chips and Sasha, the most beautiful calico cat I'd ever seen.   Of course, Syd loved art and I commented to her that even  her cat looked like a work of art - typical Syd!  She doted on both of them and  was a wonderful friend to humans and animals alike. 
Syd spoke often and with a great deal of love for her family.  Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of this extraordinary woman.  She will never be forgotten.  Thank you for posting all these wonderful pictures of your dear Mom, Grandmother, friend to all.

Dear Larry and Enid,

I just popped in your mother’s room at the Pines to say hello and learned of her passing. She was one of my mother’s favorite people here and one of mine. She was a firecracker. I loved chatting with her. 
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
