I will always hold dear my precious memories of gazing into Grandma's beautiful eyes and thanking her for everything she has done for each and every one of us. When she often asked "Why are you thanking me? I haven't done anything for you." I would reply (on behalf of myself and our family) "If it wasn't for you Grandma, none of us would be here right now." and her angel face would light up with a smile from ear to ear! She will live on in my heart for all of eternity... I love you Grandma! --Marcy Pacheco (Hoffmann) of Kingston, MA, Loving Granddaughter of Lydia and Daughter of Irene (May they rest forever together in peace)

Our deepest sympathies to the entire family. She was such a great and loving lady and it was a pleasure to know her. My mom, Ingrid, will welcome her in heaven with open arms. I have fond memories of Lydia and the entire family. May all of your fond memories of her remain in your hearts forever.

You will be loved, and, missed, forever! Thank you, Grandma, for making me feel like I was, truly, one of your own. I will do my best to take good care of your grandson, although, I know I could never take care of him as well as you always did. I love you, very much!
