I rememeber Lydia, although it has been awhile; Her laugh is what I remember the most and she was a great person, loved music and loved to dance. May she rest in peace and may all of you find peace and comfort through prayer and family. Comfort doesn't alwyas come fast or when we want to but it does get better, just always remember she is your angel now and she now longer suffers. Que en paz descanse Lydia.
