Aubrey, Herbie and the Williams' family and relatives. We are saddened by the passing of Lydia. She was truely a wonderful person and a loving wife, mother, grandma and friend. I can't help but smile Aubrey & Herbie. My Dad kept us all (especially the Hunters) away from the pecan tree yet when we went to say goodbye she told Nicky and I ''Ya'll go on over to Charlie's & take some them pecans, I got more of them than I know what to do with''!! She was a character and a wonderful lady! May she rest in peace. Love to all,

Lydia will always remain special in our hearts and thoughts. Just last Sunday we were joking and laughing with her as she still had such a good sense of humor. She was going down the hall and Don told her she couldn't pass by until he "got his hug"...she laughed and hugged him and went on her way. What fine and wonderful people she and Aubrey are! Lydia, we will miss you! Our prayers go out to the family.
