we were to blessed to have met your family @ the hospital. we are sorry for your loss.may God bless your family and we all know Sydneys in a place where there is no pain anymore. your family is the greatest ever.

Dear Thweatt family,
The service today was a picture of Jesus Christ in each of you and Sydney's life. Thank you for making His name great in our body of believers and all across the country! I felt the Lord's mighty presence there today, and I know He is pleased with you, His precious servants. I am so encouraged and inspired by your amazing faith. Thank you, again, for your testimony and for allowing us to be a part of your lives. I wish I could do more, but please know I will continue to pray for each of you.
Much love,
Tara Porter
Psalm 31:14-15
But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, "You are my God." My times are in your hands...

Lynette and James, my husband, Richard and I were at Sydney's service today. That is the ONLY service I have ever attended, where I found my tears off and on during the service turned to smiles and actually joy and comfort when we stood to walk out. My heart was so full of praise & thankfulness that your precious daughter is no longer in pain, thin and sick. The loss will be forever for you and for so many who knew her. The loss is also felt by those of us who checked your website DAILY for news--knowing now her reward is living with Christ, but somehow feeling strange not staying in "contact" in some small way.
I have spoken with my daughter-in-law in Austin to tell her what a truly magnificant service it was and how calm and reassured I was leaving.
Thank you is so inadequate when making an attempt to tell you how grateful my family is that we were able to, from Dallas, in our homes, to walk along this journey "somewhat"!
This has been a life changing experience and a divine gift to see how each family member walked with Sydney and with Christ at the center.
YES MANY lives have been changed, permanently, because of this small child with a heart for everyone, everywhere.
I know for a fact our family will never be the same. Our faith has grown and matured, our trust, if possible, is even deeper.
We will all continue daily, to pray for strength as you return to your home with your sons and once again slowly return back to the living of life in its routines and activities and yet always feeling Sydney's spirit will be a part of your lives until you are all together again. With gratitude and praise I again thank you for sharing your daughter and her journey from her time on earth & back to her Heavenly Father. It was a priviledge to be able to attend her service today.

"The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who take refuge in Him." Nahum 1:7 We love you all so much and will faithfully continue in prayer for your dear family. With love, Suzy, Bob, Connor, Weston & Becca Mighell

I'm back home from Sydney's memorial service. It was so amazing! Jesus was glorified over and over! I loved the description of Sydney as Jesus' little disciple. What an honor!! I wish I could have met her while she was here on earth, but am so excited that I will meet her in heaven! Thank you, Father God, that you have given us a way back to you!!! Lynette and James, know that we continue to pray for you and your family! Beth, John, Haynes, Annika and Greta Meyer :)

Dear Thweatt family,
Having just returned from the wonderful service honoring Sydney and praising God for the gift of His Son for all our salvation I want you to know how truly meaningful it was. Though I did not know Sydney persoanlly, you could not help but be touched by all that was shared. It was so convicting and I know lives will be changed as a result. Even those of us with very strong faiths were assured by your example and selflessness. May you find joy in the moments you now share with your extended family and know that the school as a community has grown stronger and sees Christ more clearly through all of this. Thank you for allowing my child's first example of loss to be such a positive and hopeful one.

Dear Thweatts, I was so blessed to celebrate and grieve with you all today. I feel the Lord filling me with courage as I see how he has stirred you to walk by faith. I am so proud of you, so grateful for the picture of God's glory written in your story. The verse I can't escape:

"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." John 12:24

Jesus, thank you for being the seed that fell into the ground. Here we are, some of the many seeds growing out of your perfect sacrifice. And thank you for Sydney's life and how it will continue to bear fruit for your glory. May we follow you and follow Sydney until we all gather around your throne to celebrate you forever.

"Golden"

(Like freedom in spring)

She's alone tonight with a bitter cup and
She's undone tonight, she's all used up,
She's been staring down the demons
Who've been screaming
She's just another so and so,
Another so and so

You are golden,
You are golden, Child
You are golden,
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)

There's a fear that burns like trash inside
And your shame of the curse that burns your eyes
You've been hiding in your bedroom,
Hoping this isn't how the story has to go
It's not the way it goes,
It's your book now,

You are golden,
You are golden, Child
You are golden,
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)

You're a lonely soul in a land of broken hearts
You're far from home, it's a perfect place to start

(Yeah!)
(Burn)
(Burn, Burn!)

So this final verse is a contradiction
And the more we learn the less we know

We've been talkin' about a feeling,
We both know inside but couldn't find the words
I couldn't write this verse,
I've seldom been so sure,
About anything before

Golden,
You are Golden, Child

You are Golden,
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)

This world is a dead man down (Golden, you are)
Every breath is a fading crown we wear (Golden, Child, you are)
Like some debilitated king (Golden, don't let go)
Don't let go tonight

The Earth spins and the moon goes round (Golden, you are)
The green comes from the frozen ground (Golden, Child, you are)
And everything will be made new again (Golden)
(Like freedom in spring) (Golden, Golden)

Hey, like freedom in spring, (Golden, you are, hey)
Like freedom in spring (Golden, Child, you are)
(Gold...)

My heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with you. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know Sydney's joyous love and amazing strength will be with your family for all the years to come. Thank you for sharing your journey.

For you have a new life....
- Peter 1:23

I am so sorry to hear about Sydney. From reading your journal. I truly believe you were all faithful diciples of Christ. What a testament your faith has been. I know Sydney is secure in the palm of God's hand. Thanks for being such an inspiration.
Love,
Leslie Hendrix Wood

I have had your entire family in my thoughts for months - now more than ever. Please accept my most sincere condolences for your devastating loss. Know that your many friends have you in their prayers and will continue to do so in the days ahead. With sympathy, A. J. Carter Bowden

James & Lynette,

We are so sorry for your loss. We pray that you continue to feel Jesus caressing your hearts through your sorrow.

Love,
Kevin & Amy Anderson

Lynette, James and Boys -- To re-introduce myself, I am Rose Russell's grandmother in Austin. My daughter, Kellye, shared your story with me last year and I have talked with the Lord almost daily since then about your precious Sydney and your family. My plan that I offered to God -- and yours, I'm sure -- was for Sydney's healing to be an incredible and amazing testimony to the Lord's healing touch. And so it is. Sydney is totally healed of everything this world touched her with, and, in looking at the precious picture of her you have on this home page, I can see her sitting at the feet of her dear Jesus. I can't imagine how much you will miss your daughter! But I know that God's amazing grace is real and is healing, and will sustain you until we all gather together with the Lord. Bless you for sharing your hurts, your sorrows, your joys, your victories -- in short, for letting the Body of Christ be a part of your story. The Lord entrusted you with Sydney, and has now entrusted you with her life's testimony. Again, I pray for you to embrace His powerful, amazing grace today, and every day until you once again hold Sydney in your arms.
Blessings,
Toni Casteel
