I worked with Sid at Ownes & Minor. He was a sweet man. He baked me a cheesecake pie for my birthday one year. It was the best I had ever had. Needless to say all the associates were jealous. We had a wonderful friendship. I even visit him at the travel agency he worked for. His jokes were so funny, but his laughing use to crack me up. He will be missed by so many people.He always talked about his newphew. Sid had a good heart.God bless his family at this time.

I am saddened to hear about the loss of Mr. Abernathy. Please know you have my deepest condolences. Cherish your memories. May they comfort you during this difficult time. Please know that God sees your pain and has set in motion help for our suffering. Death is such an unnatural part of life. In Revelation chapter 21 verse 3 and 4 God has given us the promise that one day death will be no more. It will be a beautiful day when we will all be reunited with our loved ones who are asleep in death. John 11:11. As we await paradise, may the peace of God be with you. Matthew 5:5; Isaiah 25:8. Loving thoughts and prayers are with you.

I didn't know Sidney, but I'm sure he was a cousin of mine, so if any of the family read this, I'd love to talk to you. I hope you don't think this is inappropriate, but I saw it in the Raleigh newspaper. My grandfather was James Regan Abernathy, Sr. of Lawrenceville, called Dick, & my father was the junior, called Sonny, of South Hill. My grandmother, Mabel Adcock Gibson, owned the West End restaurant there. After my grandparents divorced, there was almost no contact with the Abernathy side. I have met a few cousins, Glen & Wiiliam A , & Bonnie Eckert, but would love to know more. I would loved to have known Sidney, but if anyone else would like to contact me, I would appreciate it. I'm sorry for your loss.

Ann and family, I was so sorry to read about Sid in yesterday's paper. I didn't realize that he had been sick. The last time I heard about him was that he was traveling the world! Please except my heartfelt thoughts and prayers for your and the family during this time. I know he was a source of strength for everyone. We are all thinking of you. Leslie
