As hard as it is to lose a family member what we still have is life time of beautiful memories that we shared with that person. And the fact we can’t be with everyone today is hard but we will always have Lydia in our hearts ♥️ and keep the image of her during better times with us. Love and hugs for the whole family ❤️
My deepest sympathies to her family. Lydia was my godmother and I was the flowergirl at her wedding. I am thinking of her with lots of love, for her upcoming birthday. I am truly sorry that we lost touch and I didn’t get a chance to talk to her before her passing. She was a wonderful, kind lady, and I will always miss her.
